Doris Swint's Freedom Story!

Today's episode is with my friend, Doris Swint. We were friends online for years and got to meet IRL at the Spark/NRB Conference in Nashville in March of 2022. This conversation is a great reminder about how your past does not dictate your calling. Once you give your life to God, He no longer judges you on your past, but leads you out of guilt and shame and into your fierce calling. Doris talks about how this happened for her after years of carrying the shame of getting pregnant as a teen and having to leave school six months before she graduated because of it. She also reminds us that we are not alone; even when we feel like we want to isolate, we need to find a community to surround us, pray for us and lead us back to God. We pray this conversation encourages you as we are entering the Christmas season and the new year to really lean into what God is speaking to your heart and mind and that you will be open to Him.
