In this episode of the Eternal Echoes podcast, host Katharine Rose speaks with suspense author Kerry Peresta, who shares her powerful story of coming to know the Lord.

Kerry opens up about a childhood shaped by fear, a young adulthood marked by men, drinking and drugs, and the moment she cried out to God that changed everything.

She describes how God pursued her, freed her from long-standing fears and destructive habits, and taught her to walk boldly in her faith. Kerry also offers honest insight into relationships, heartbreak, codependency, and finding healthy love.

From dabbling in the occult to standing confidently for Christ in the publishing world, her journey is a powerful reminder that no life is beyond redemption and that true transformation is possible for anyone.

Wise words worth echoing:

- “We shouldn't be tossed around by fear. It’s a lie.”

- “The power of Jesus’ name is completely underused.”

- “I thank God that He's given me that kind of boldness to not care.”

- “Ouija boards are so evil, they are a straight conduit to hell.”

- “He is a God of discipline. And it’s not rejection, it’s redirection.”

- “The more we press into Him and the more responsibility He gives us, the more He requires of us.”

- “Perfect love is found in His Word, in His arms, in prayer with Him, and that is where all of life is found.”
