More To Me

In this powerful episode of More To Me with Kennedy, I sit down with the incredible Heidi Zimmerman to talk about what it truly means to experience beauty from ashes.   Heidi shares her deeply personal testimony of walking through hardship and how the Beauty from Ashes program in Magee, Mississippi became the turning point that led her to healing, purpose, and a life rooted in Christ.    Now at 23, she is a full time student while faithfully serving within the ministry, living alongside and supporting new and expecting mothers, caring for babies through the night, and pouring back into the very community that once poured into her.   Together, we dive into the heart of relationships, restoration, and redemption. From conversations on overcoming addiction and trafficking, to rebuilding identity and finding hope, this episode reveals how God can transform even the lowest seasons into something beautiful.   We also explore the importance of volunteerism and nonprofit work, and how organizations like Beauty from Ashes are actively changing lives and communities for the better. Rooted in scripture, we reflect on Parable of the Good Samaritan, using both Heidi’s journey and our own experiences to bring this powerful message of love and service to life.   This episode is a reminder that no matter where you’ve been, there is purpose ahead. When we choose to love, serve, and surrender, God turns every story into something meaningful.   A heart lifting conversation that will challenge your perspective, strengthen your faith, and inspire you to serve others well.   💌 Connect with Team More To Me   Instagram 🤍 @moretomewithkennedy   Kennedy 🤍 @kennedy.fewell   Guest 🤍 @heidizimmerman
