In this moving and inspirational episode, we step into the sacred intersection of faith, trauma, and transformation. Inspired by Isaiah 53 and 61 — “By His stripes we are healed” and “He will give them beauty for ashes” — we explore how God meets us in the ruins, gathers what’s been shattered, and rebuilds us into something new.

Our guest, Kaycee, shares a testimony that moves from rebellion to redemption, from self-destruction to supernatural restoration. Once a homeschooled church girl who ran headfirst into addiction, chaos, and self-harm, she found herself at rock bottom — crying out to God in her car, desperate for a way out. In that moment, she heard the words that changed everything:

“Daughter, it’s time to come home.”

What the enemy meant for evil, God used for good.

Together, we talk through the journey of healing that isn’t just emotional or physical — it’s spiritual. Kaycee opens up about the scriptures that carried her through darkness, the moment she first felt truly glad to be alive, and how God turned her ashes into beauty through sobriety, community, and a renewed relationship with Jesus.

We also dive into the daily practices that keep her grounded: praying Psalm 51:10, learning the difference between God’s perspective and self‑perspective, and discovering how scripture becomes a living, breathing tool for recovery rather than just words on a page.

From therapy and faith to community and accountability, Kaycee speaks honestly about the challenges, the misconceptions, and the moments when faith felt like pressure instead of peace. She breaks down the difference between conviction and shame, why isolation is one of the enemy’s greatest weapons, and how the right mentors can sharpen us into who God intended us to be.

This episode is a reminder that healing is not hypothetical — it’s promised.

Scars become testimonies.

Ashes become beauty.

And no one is too far gone for God to redeem.

If you’re wrestling with faith, trauma, or the weight of your past, Kaycee’s story will remind you that you don’t have to clean yourself up before coming to Jesus. You come to Him to be made clean. Freedom is real, and it’s available.
