Send us a text

In this episode, Winnie shares more of her powerful testimony. Winnie talks about being able to trust her children to her abusive mother, her half-siblings being kidnapped, and her struggles with alcohol and meth addiction. But through it all, Jesus was calling her back, and in 2014, she rededicated her life to Christ, committing to serve Him no matter what.
Winnie also reflects on God's provision during tough times and her journey out of debt with the help of Christians Against Poverty (CAP). We end the episode discussing the concept of taking thoughts captive to Christ, Winnie answers a listener's question and shares how she’s living her faith outside of Sunday. It's an inspiring and hope-filled conclusion to Winnie's heart-wrenching testimony of abuse and poverty - you don't want to miss this!
