Heartbreak to healing. Today I'm going to share my testimony of how I found God. I'm going to talk about how God used my pain and he made it my platform, how I was before coming to God, what I went through,

and how His Grace saved me. I'm your host, Amanda Encing,

and you are tuning in to Liberty Before Lipstick.

I hope everyone is doing well.

I have been wanting to share my testimony for quite some time now.

There is a video version of this podcast up on my YouTube channel,

but I also wanted to share it here.

We're living in a godless society where everything pushes you to rely on yourself and to rely on what the world says, to rely on the experts, but not once to lean on Jesus and to learn God's truth. So I hope you enjoy my story. I hope it can

encourage you and reignite a fire and a passion for God. Before we get into the episode, I just want to let you guys know that I will have a second

podcast up this Thursday and if you want early access to that podcast it's going to be going up on my Patreon on Wednesday.

In order to get the early access a day before on my Patreon, you have to be under the ultimate

Patriot, that's the higher tier of the two.

So if you haven't already considered joining my Patreon, I hope that you will.

No pressure.

As always, all of my podcasts are free on podcast platforms, Apple Spotify, and on my

podcast page but I am beginning to upload exclusive content and early content on

my Patreon page. You can join it by going to

Patreon.com slash Amanda Encing. So growing up I did not like going to church at

all. I grew up going to Catholic church and I just I didn't like going to church. I loved God. I always prayed to God. In college I stopped going to church almost altogether and I would only go on

holidays because my college was still close enough to drive to my hometown and my

mom of course always like come to church like you need to come to church on Christmas and Easter etc

So I always went on holidays, but I just never felt like that urge to go to church I always thought, it's something I'll do when I'm older.
