Dear friend, welcome to the Beloved: Being Brave. It's time to announce the direction I am taking this podcast: one of radical devotion to sharing the Gospel and the path of following the one true God.

In this episode, I share my raw journey of faith, exploring my early experiences of seeking belonging, my baptism, and the cultural transitions that shaped my spiritual path back to God. I reflect on the struggles with identity, the allure of New Age beliefs, and the transformative moment when I committed to following Christ and gave my life to Him. Through my story, I pray that you will be inspired to deepen your relationship with God, however He calls you to.
