From Discarded to Redeemed
As a born-again believer in Jesus, author, speaker, and survivor of abuse, I promise you I know what it's like to think like a lover of Jesus but live like a HOT MESS, battling demons of bitterness, rage, fear, and low self-esteem.
Over the years the Lord has led me through many frontiers of ministry — homeschooling, adoption, infertility, poverty, addiction recovery, and walking alongside the brokenhearted — and every one of them taught me that real freedom only comes when we surrender it all to Christ.
