The Spit Saved My Life with Nicole Smith

from Image Bearers · host Lacey Conner and Nicole Smith

I sit down with Nicole “Nicky” Smith, a survivor of domestic violence whose story is one of faith, resilience, and redemption. Nicky is the author of The Spit Saved My Life and the voice behind a growing movement to bring awareness to domestic violence while offering hope to those still in it. She shares how God carried her through one of the darkest seasons of her life and how He turned her pain into purpose.In this episode, we talk about finding healing, strength, and identity through faith, and how sharing our stories can bring light to others walking through their own battles. Nicky’s mission is simple but powerful: if her story helps even one person find the courage to seek help or believe that hope is possible again, it’s all worth it. This conversation is raw, redemptive, and a reminder that God can bring beauty from the ashesS- SurviveP- PurposeI- InspireT- ThriveResources for Help:Indiana Coalition Against Domestic Violence 1 (800) 332-7385Emergency DV Services (317) 210-0866Julian Center (317) 941-2000Coburn Place (317) 907-9620Follow Image Bearers: Socials: https://linktr.ee/imagebearerspodcastIf this episode or another episode has blessed you.
