What if the path to freedom begins with breaking free from the chains of legalism and shame? In our latest episode, we have the privilege of featuring Desiree, a remarkable woman whose life's narrative is nothing short of inspiring. She opens up about her early life shaped by a restrictive church environment and the added challenge of progressive hearing loss, revealing her journey as a young, single mother at just 18. Desiree's experiences led her to discover a genuine relationship with Jesus, which she beautifully articulates in her book, "Created to Relate: Living Beyond Religion." Her story is not just about struggle but about the triumph of faith and resilience.

Desiree's story takes us through the deeply personal journey of navigating an unplanned pregnancy while confronting society and family expectations. She courageously shares her profound spiritual experience of hearing God’s voice that guided her decision to keep her child, highlighting the strength found in personal faith. As she recounts her story, Desiree draws powerful parallels between the unconditional love of a parent and God's love, offering insights into how these relationships provide comfort and purpose. Her message is one of hope and the power of love to redefine our understanding of family and faith.

Desiree's journey of writing her book over nearly a decade is a testament to overcoming personal barriers and building a community of support. This episode is a heartfelt tribute to Desiree's courage and the enduring message of redemption and freedom in Christ. We invite you to explore more about her journey and insights on her website, www.arenewedcreation.com, where you can find resources that continue to inspire and guide.
