Surviving Him, Finding Him: From a Stepdad’s Abuse to the Father’s Love | Raw and Redeemed Podcast Ep. 4

In this deeply personal episode of Raw and Redeemed, I open up about one of the hardest parts of my story—growing up with a stepdad who was mentally, verbally, and physically abusive, and how that trauma shaped my identity, relationships, and view of love.

From the pain of being treated differently than my siblings… to the moment I realized he wasn’t even my real father… to the years of rebellion and hurt that followed—this episode is raw, honest, and vulnerable. But more importantly, it’s a story of redemption.

Because even in the middle of the brokenness, God was there. And when I finally let Him in, He began to show me the love of a true Father—the One who never leaves, never fails, and never stops loving.

🕊️ If you’ve experienced abuse, rejection, or are healing from a toxic home life, this episode is for you.

You're not alone.

You are worthy.

You are loved.

And you are redeemable.
