2.11. Building Your Own Faith (part 1 with Gracie Bueno & Izzy Perez)

On part one of this two-part episode, we talk with Gracie Bueno and Izzy Perez, TCKs from El Salvador and Costa Rica. These ladies are best friends that both inspire us and keep us laughing.

Join our conversation as we learn Gracie and Izzy’s testimonies and talk about identity, worth, and how they built a faith outside of their parents’ after experiencing the real, life-changing Jesus. Gracie and Izzy share their own experiences of life before and after truly following Jesus and how they challenge themselves to grow closer to the Lord - even on the hard days. You’ll hear stories that are honest, relatable, and real encouraging as we press on towards following Jesus.
