Our Creator has given us all divine purpose. Yet, things in our lives cause us sorrow, shame, and brokenness, which interfere with that purpose. This podcast intends to give you hope and healing by introducing you to Jesus, awakening you to your worth in Christ, and enabling you to live out your divine purpose. It's hard to put the pieces back together when you've been broken, but Jesus can and He will. My passion is declaring hope when life hurts. Let's talk about it!
