In this powerful and deeply moving episode, I sit down with Bambi Lynn—life coach, motivational speaker, blogger, and two-time published author (soon to be three!). Bambi shares her incredible testimony of transformation, beginning in 1987 when, just days after nearly ending her life by jumping off a bridge, she gave her heart to Jesus.

We talk about the life-saving moment when a passing police officer intervened, the shocking discovery she made in the psych hospital, and how pregnancy at 16 marked the beginning of a new chapter. From trauma and suicidal thoughts to forgiveness, healing, and hope, Bambi reveals how God turned her ashes into beauty—just like Isaiah 61 promises.

She shares how a literal pressure cooker explosion and the painful recovery parallels our spiritual renewal: God strips away the old so He can bring healing and new life. We explore the importance of forgiving ourselves and others, understanding salvation, and embracing the truth that God has a plan for every storm we face.

This episode is a raw, redemptive journey through pain, purpose, and the power of God’s grace.

In this episode, I’m joined by Miriam Diphouse McMillan—author of Sacred Balance: How Ancient Practices Can Restore Modern Minds. Miriam is a chaplain at an inpatient psychiatric hospital, an ordained minister, a writer for the Intercession of Spirituality and Mental Health, and above all, a child of God.

We dive deep into the intersection of faith and mental health, exploring how spiritual practices—like prayer—have been scientifically shown to calm the mind through MRI research. Miriam shares insights from over 12 years of experience walking alongside people in crisis, leading spiritual groups, writing hospital sermons, and offering individual counseling.

This conversation is full of wisdom, compassion, and encouragement for anyone seeking balance, healing, and a deeper love for both self and neighbor.
