Words that Discouraged Me

from Only For A Season Hosted by Mel Cruzado

Let me take you back to when I was 15. Someone looked me in the eye and said, 'You’ll never afford one.' Ouch, right? Those words stung deeply and lingered for years. But as life unfolded, God had something entirely different in store. What started with uncertainty grew into a 38-year career, grounded in faith and family. Through it all, I’ve seen firsthand how God’s promises bring hope, even when discouragement tries to pull us down. Psalm 34:17-18 says, 'The Lord is close to the brokenhearted and saves those who are crushed in spirit.' If you’ve ever felt the weight of hurtful words, join me today as we explore how God’s nearness can bring healing and purpose." Hey listeners, just a heads up—this episode was brought to life using a cloned version of my voice.
