Hello, everybody. My name is Chip Payne, and I am the director for Lifestyle

Christianity University, and welcome to our podcast. Today, I have the privilege

to introduce to you Denise Reed. Denise has been a student at Lifestyle

Christianity University, sort of a miraculous testimony of how you even got

here and got into school. But she is a powerful, anointed daughter of God, a

leader, and she is already stepping into the things that the Lord has called

her to. She has a ministry called Lillie of Hope. And today, I have the

privilege to introduce you to her and allow the Lord to declare who he is and

what he's doing in her and through her as a powerful daughter of the King. And so

Denise, I want to welcome you to our podcast. How are you? That's awesome. So

Denise, share a little bit about your testimony and your background, what you

came out of, and what God did, and now, and what he's got you doing. Okay, so a

little bit about my background. I come from San Diego, California, born and raised,

was born addicted to hair on. So we went, I went straight into the system, foster

system. As six years old, it was molested the first time in foster care. And then

seven to 12 was molested with my grandfather, because I went to live with my

grandma. At 12 got raped by three different men in the hotel. Started drinking

and drugs at 12 very early. And then went start, went on this trail of going back

into the foster system a little from my grandma. So I went through 15

group homes, seven foster homes, and just this trail of all of this trauma and

different things and was sleeping with men. After that rape, I just had a sex

all the time with men and women. So all this came upon me at the early age.
