There was a time I was drowning—not in water, but in sorrow.
Addiction, grief, and shame pulled me under… until the love of Jesus reached into the depths and lifted me into the Sea of Salvation.
In today’s episode of Born to be a Butterfly, I share the story of how Christ became the anchor that steadied my soul when everything else was sinking.
Together, we’ll explore:
✝️ The difference between anchors that weigh us down and the Anchor who lifts us up
✝️ How to float in faith even when the storms rage
✝️ Why the enemy fights so hard to drown what God is determined to redeem
✝️ How healing begins the moment we surrender to Love Himself
If your heart feels heavy, if the waves feel too strong, let this episode remind you: you are not alone in the storm. Christ is with you—and His love is deeper still.
