In this heartfelt episode, I share my personal journey as a survivor of domestic violence attending the 2025 Called to Peace Ministries Survivor Healing Retreat.
Set against the beautiful backdrop of Lake Junaluska, this retreat was a sacred space of safety, restoration, and powerful reminders that our Redeemer sees, hears, and heals.
I’ll walk you through moments of breakthrough, powerful teaching from keynote speaker Leslie Vernick, and the deeply personal ways God met me in worship, creativity, and community.
Whether you're early in your healing journey or walking alongside someone who is, I pray this episode brings hope, encouragement, and the gentle reminder that your healing matters—and it’s not over yet.
Mentioned in this episode:
- Psalm 55:18 – He rescues me unharmed from the battle waged against me.
