Death to Life podcast

What if the lowest point in your life reignited your faith? Join us in "Death to Life" as we explore powerful stories of transformation and strength found in divine love. Christian shares his journey from a strict Seventh-day Adventist upbringing in Perth Amboy, NJ, to finding purpose through faith. Despite challenges, including significant eye surgery, his vibrant community and cultural heritage helped him overcome a dark period in December 2022. Another story follows a young individual who, after losing a friend, struggled with faith, grief, and rebellion. With the help of a supportive youth leader, they realized true fulfillment lies beyond partying and substance use, highlighting the importance of mentorship.

Finally, we delve into the transformative power of God's unconditional love. Personal accounts reveal how breaking free from legalism and shame leads to true freedom and identity in divine acceptance. From overcoming the pressures of canvassing summers to battling personal hypocrisies, these stories emphasize that embracing God's promises leads to peace and a profound sense of identity. Tune in to witness how these individuals moved from despair to a life rooted in divine love, showcasing the universal impact of God's love.
