What does it look like when God meets you in the middle of addiction and completely changes the direction of your life?

In this episode of Joyful Journal, I sit down with my sister, Melissa Palacios, to hear the story of how God brought her from death to life. Melissa opens up about her struggle with smoking, the moment that brought her to her lowest point, and how God met her right where she was.

We talk about what it means to surrender your life to God and the power of the Holy Spirit. Melissa also shares how her relationship with God gave her supernatural joy she never knew before.

Her story is a reminder that God is still moving, still restoring, and still writing stories of redemption.

Joyful Journal is a place where we share inspiring testimonies of God's faithfulness and have honest conversations about faith, culture, and the ways Jesus is moving in the world today. From stories of transformed lives to thoughtful discussions on current events and biblical truth, every conversation is meant to strengthen your faith and remind you that God is still working. My prayer is that these stories encourage you to walk in the fullness of His joy and the life He came to give.

"You make known to me the path of life; in your presence there is fullness of joy; at your right hand are pleasures forevermore." — Psalm 16:11

Follow for new episodes every Tuesday, and join us as we discover where God is moving, celebrate stories of His faithfulness, and grow together in truth and JOY!
