    03. Mary's Testimony: From Darkness to Light

    In today’s episode, Mary shares her testimony.Raised Catholic, she believed in God but felt distant from Him, seeing faith as obligation rather than relationship. Childhood pain and trauma left her feeling unworthy, ashamed and empty—constantly searching for something to fill the void. As she entered adulthood, the weight of her pain made her turn away from God completely.Longing for healing, she spent years immersed in New Age practices, believing she would find peace. But the deeper she went, the more lost and empty she felt. This is a story of breaking free from deception, healing from the past and discovering the relentless love of God.If you’ve ever questioned your worth or struggled to feel truly loved, this episode will remind you that Jesus has been calling you home all along.Trigger Warning: This episode discusses sensitive topics such as CSA, Eating Disorders, Mental Health & Suicide.

    02. Annie’s Testimony: From Brokenness to Restoration

    In today’s episode Annie shares her testimony. Growing up as a pastor’s kid, Annie was surrounded by faith but battling a deep sense of unworthiness.At 17, a traumatic event changed everything, reinforcing the lies she already believed about herself and sending her life in a direction she never expected. In the years that followed, pain and shame led her down an unexpected path - one marked by choices that only deepened her wounds and eventually resulted in a failed marriage. But even at her lowest, God never stopped chasing after her. In this episode of Pray and Tell, Annie opens up about her journey—the heartbreak, the bad decisions, and ultimately, the way God met her in her brokenness and brought true healing and restoration that she never thought possible. If you’ve ever felt too far gone, her story is a testament to the relentless love of a God who never gives up on us, no matter how far we’ve fallen.
