Tammy Erste From Broken to Victory

 Tammy Jean Erste, and I am 47 years old.

· I have a Catholic church family background but became a non-denominational churchgoer as a young teen.

· Although I cannot remember the exact moment I gave my life to Christ, I know I became a believer at a young age.

· I come from a broken and dysfunctional home where I incurred a lot of abuse – mental, physical, emotional, and sexual.

· I have worked odd jobs and as a restaurant server most of my life.

· I had always enjoyed school and learning and desired to get my bachelor’s degree many years ago.

· It was during the time of pursuing my bachelor’s that a seed was planted to attend seminary.

· God led me to seminary to open the eyes of my heart and help me to understand the good news and what the Gospel was truly all about.

· It was during this time God started to deal with me and my past.

I received a master’s degree in Biblical Studies from Grand Rapids Theological      Seminary in December 2020.
My husband Matt and I just celebrated our 10-year wedding anniversary. My husband is just a snapshot of God’s grace towards me, and I am not sure where I would be today without him coming into my life.
We are a blended family with 4 children, 2 grandchildren, and 3 fur babies.
I am working on writing my first book and have started a blog as a way to begin sharing my testimony and journey with others in hopes to lead others to faith in Jesus Christ.
I      recently started speaking publicly about what God has done in my life and to tell others there is hope and forgiveness found in Christ Jesus alone.
