Are you or someone you love hiding behind a shameful past or a faith you’re trying to earn by being good enough for God? Do you struggle with finding true freedom in Christ as you process your story?

Today’s UnPerfect guest has known the shame of hiding and the grief of losing a spouse twice. But she learned to find her security in the gospel alone and walk in the power of the Holy Spirit.

And you can too, my friend! Listen in to hear her powerful story – and discover the power to share your story in Biblical community or a specific niche community that can walk this road with you.

By allowing the gospel to speak into our pain and our past, we can come out of hiding into freedom in Christ!

Let’s do this!
