What happens when God meets you at your lowest point? For Pastor Jovanna Moreno, it was a divine encounter on a mountaintop at age 18 that forever changed her trajectory from a suicidal young mother to a passionate minister of healing.

Pastor Jovanna shares her remarkable 30-year journey with raw authenticity, revealing how God wrapped His arms around her in her darkest moment and promised to "heal her to the uttermost." This tangible experience of God's love became the foundation for her ministry to the brokenhearted.

Drawing from her unique background as both a pastor and a professional with 23 years in mental health and addiction treatment, Jovanna brings profound insight to the intersection of spiritual and psychological healing. She challenges religious approaches that dismiss mental health struggles with simplistic solutions, while maintaining unwavering faith in Christ's power to heal completely.

"Ministry doesn't make you; it can kill you," she warns, emphasizing that relationship with God must precede service to others. Throughout our conversation, Jovanna repeatedly returns to the theme of identity—finding our worth as daughters and sons before functioning in any ministry role or title.

What sets this episode apart is Pastor Jovanna's practical wisdom about integrating faith naturally into every area of life. At her beauty business, Amethyst Essence Co., clients often experience therapeutic healing without a single scripture being quoted. "I truly believe Holy Spirit is such a part of me that my touch is setting them free," she explains, demonstrating how authentic presence can be more powerful than religious language.

Whether you're struggling with trauma, battling for mental wellness, juggling multiple responsibilities, or simply seeking to deepen your relationship with God, Pastor Jovanna's testimony will inspire you to remove your veil before God and experience the freedom that comes when Holy Spirit has lordship over every area of your life.

What happens when someone whose life has been shattered by trauma and addiction encounters the transformative power of faith? Christina's testimony will take you on an extraordinary journey from the depths of brokenness to profound purpose.

Raised by a mother caught in prostitution and drug addiction, Christina was forced to become a caretaker at age seven when her mother abandoned her and her siblings. This early responsibility fostered survival instincts that would prove crucial later in life, though her path first led through the darkness of gang involvement, drug dealing, heroin addiction, and dangerous criminal activities.

The turning point came unexpectedly when someone who had recently found faith boldly called Christina out of a trap house, telling her Jesus had a plan for her life. Though she had no religious background, this encounter led her to a women's outreach program where her transformation began—a journey that would take three attempts to complete.

Christina shares a powerful metaphor that perfectly captures the limited perspective of those trapped in brokenness: like looking through fragments of a shattered mirror, we can only see pieces of ourselves, never the whole picture. This limited vision keeps many trapped in destructive cycles, unable to recognize their true identity or potential.

Today, Christina ministers in prisons weekly, teaching "Breaking Free" and "Overcomers" classes. She regularly serves homeless communities, bringing hundreds of sandwiches and essential supplies to those living in encampments. Her upcoming book, "Masterpiece of Broken Pieces," will detail her journey from addiction and rejection to wholeness.

The most inspiring aspect of Christina's story is her refusal to remain trapped in a victim mentality despite experiencing severe childhood trauma. Instead, she embodies the "beauty for ashes" exchange described in Scripture—her past transformed into a testimony that helps others find freedom from their own brokenness. As she powerfully states, "When everyone else walks out of your life, God walks in."
