What happens when one of the most painful moments in your life becomes the place where God meets you and begins something new?

In this episode of the With Him Podcast, Raz and Jamie sit down with Michelle Smith, founder of Faith Freedom Life, to talk about faith, incarceration, inner healing, family, and what it means to stop simply “playing church” and go all-in with Jesus.

When Michelle’s son was incarcerated in 2017, she found herself facing fear, guilt, shame, anxiety, and uncertainty. But that experience also became a turning point in her relationship with God. Through community, mentorship, and a small group for families impacted by incarceration, Michelle began a journey of healing and discovering what it meant to show up authentically before God and others.

Eventually, what God was doing in Michelle became something she wanted to share with others. That desire grew into Faith Freedom Life, a ministry helping individuals and families impacted by incarceration through support, inner healing, counseling, retreats, and Michelle’s 12 Steps to Inner Healing.

Michelle, Raz, and Jamie also talk about breaking unhealthy family patterns, bringing our real emotions to God, and the important role families can play when someone returns home after incarceration.

Michelle’s story is a powerful reminder that God meets us right where we are and can use even our most difficult seasons to bring healing, freedom, and purpose.
