In this powerful episode, Karen Freeman shares how her childhood as a “church bus kid,” her battle with breast cancer, and her lifelong drive to serve others have shaped her unshakable faith and compassion.
From those early Sunday bus rides to her years leading urban youth outreach through First Glance, Karen’s story shows how God truly wastes nothing. What began as a simple desire to love students and teen moms has grown into a lifelong calling to create spaces where people find belonging, purpose, and the love of Christ in everyday moments.
Now serving in outreach at Cornerstone Church, Karen continues to live out that same heart for connection and restoration. Her life is a testament to dignity restored, hope rekindled, and grace lived out in the most tangible ways.
