Destiny understands firsthand the wounds that can come from living in a broken family.

When I moved back in with my mother, she didn't really care about much of anything

because she was too high or too drunk to care.

So I started running around with guys.

And one day, my boyfriend said, do you want to try this?

Today we'll hear how Destiny and others broke free from the cycle through Jesus.

And a word to parents, if you have little ears listening nearby, you might want to keep them busy elsewhere.

This is the Revive Our Hearts podcast with Nancy DeMoss Walgamuth, author of Lies, Women Believe and the Truth that Sets Them Free.

For August 17th, 2020, I'm Dana Gresh.

This month, we're considering stories of redemption.

We looked at the life of Rehab, a woman with a past who chose to follow the God she'd heard about. And this

week, we're fast-forwarding about 3,000 years, and we'll be hearing from women in our own day,

women who will readily tell you about the fresh start they've been given. Nancy? I never,

ever get tired of hearing stories about God's redeeming, transforming power.

And we're going to get to hear some of those today.

Now, each of us has our own story.

No, two individuals are exactly alike.

But each child of God, each believer in Jesus, also has a story that is similar to that of every other Christian. All of us

start out in this life as sinful human beings desperately in need of a Savior. And then,

even though the details may vary from person to person, the Spirit of God wakes us up to see our

needy, sinful condition. And then he points us to the wonder of who Jesus is.

The one who came to this earth lived a sinless life and died the death that we deserved in our place.
