From Depressed Teen to Theology Mom: Two Women Who Changed My Life

from Theology Mom || All The Things · host Krista Bontrager

At 15, I was a lonely, fatherless freshman drowning in depression. I had braces, curly hair, and zero friends. But two ordinary Christians noticed me—and my life changed forever. In this emotional episode, I reunite with two Christian women and talk about how God used them in my life. Thirty years later, we marvel at how God used regular people to help pull a broken girl out of the pit and into purpose. If you’ve ever wondered if your small act of kindness matters, this one’s for you. You don’t need a platform. You just need to notice the lonely person on the bench. One conversation, one prayer, one nudge from the Holy Spirit can alter someone’s eternity. #ChristianTestimony #TheologyMom #RedemptionStory #HighSchoolFaith
