Hope Restored Missy Dale Hope restored was birthed in me in 2012.   The Lord clearly spoke to me about preaching the gospel, specifically to those who have been wounded inwardly by life circumstances.     To those who feel they are broken, damaged and inwardly dying.    In 2012 I didn't understand the cost of carrying this kind of calling but as the song Oceans says I prayed to have trust without borders.       The next 11 years has taken me on quite the adventure of being broken, feeling like I was damaged beyond repair, and feeling dead on the inside.     Divorce, loss of jobs, loss of my  home, loss of ministry, loss of a church, health issues, surgeries, blindness, moving, loss of friends and support system, , new marriage (to the love of my life), struggling, depression, and fear.      I can tell you I ran from God during a season and was not the mother I should have been.      I lost hope.    I was mad at God and questioned why more times than I can count.    But.....How can you minister to a s The Restored Life with Steve DiBiase Pastor Steve DiBiase The restored life is a journey that I am daily pursuing and I want you to join me as we grow closer to the Lord together!!

Hendry The 'A Womans Soul; Restored' Podcast addresses depression, hurt, pain, sadness, health issues, assult, rape, domestic violence, and the many other issues that women have to contend with. Four in five women experience some form of the issues that are named above. As women, we wear many hats, but sometimes we wear those hats while we are not in a good place ourselves. At times, it may seem like what we are going through may never come to an end but there is always HOPE. Here on the 'A Woman’s Soul: Restored' Podcast, we are here to offer hope and show that there is life after darkness!
