Summary

Author Rebecca Medina Stewart joins Blake to share her journey of healing from trauma and rediscovering the true nature of God. A former journalist and sexual assault survivor, Rebecca opens up about years of depression, unhealthy coping, and distorted beliefs about God rooted in early church experiences. She describes how hitting rock bottom became the catalyst for surrendering her life to Christ, which ignited a transformative season of healing through spiritual disciplines, counseling, and authentic community. Rebecca’s story illustrates how choosing faith over despair allowed her to see God’s presence even in her darkest moments, ultimately leading her to write the book Seen. In this episode, you’ll be able to… Discover the unexpected healing that comes from telling your story, even when it feels uncomfortable. Understand how sharing your pain can be a catalyst for someone else’s freedom and restoration. Explore how trauma can shape identity—and what it looks like to let God redefine who you are.
