Last episode, I shared that I was honestly tired of talking about my cancer. Then God reminded me why our testimonies matter.

This past Sunday, my cancer testimony was shown during church, and while it was one of the most vulnerable things I've ever experienced, it also reminded me that our stories were never meant to be hidden. In this episode, I share what it was like to watch my testimony play in front of my church, why it was so uncomfortable, and why I believe God calls each of us to boldly share what He has done in our lives.

We'll dive into Scripture, explore powerful examples of people whose testimonies changed lives, and talk about how every believer has a story worth telling—even if it doesn't seem extraordinary. Whether your testimony comes from a major life event or from God's faithfulness in the ordinary moments, He can use it to bring hope to someone else.

If hearing my story helps even one person find hope in Jesus, then every vulnerable moment has been worth it.
