#188 From Cultural Roots to Spiritual Growth: Stefany's Journey of Resilience and Faith


Listen Later

Stefany's story is one of resilience and transformation, taking us from the bustling culture of a Chinese-Indonesian upbringing to the vibrant landscapes of the Philippines. As a teenager, Stefany's pursuit of a quality Adventist education uprooted her from Indonesia and placed her in a new world with its own challenges. Her journey through language barriers, adjusting to a new education system, and navigating faith in a community unfamiliar with Adventism paints a vivid picture of personal growth and spiritual exploration. With courage, Stephanie opens up about her struggles and triumphs in finding a deeper connection with God, all while honoring her family's diverse religious history.

Our conversation with Stefany also sheds light on the intricate family dynamics that influenced her spiritual journey. Raised by parents who transitioned from Buddhism to Adventism, Stefany offers a heartfelt reflection on her father's spiritual rediscovery amidst battling depression. She shares the poignant tale of her father's near-death experience before her birth and how it shaped her place as his favorite child. This episode weaves together the rich tapestry of cultural identity, familial expectations, and the pursuit of personal transformation, offering hope to anyone striving to carve out their own spiritual path. Join us for an episode that promises to inspire and resonate with listeners on many levels.
