Listen Later

Bernice Benabe takes us on an unforgettable journey through her transformative life story on the Death to Life podcast. As the youngest daughter in a tightly-knit Seventh-day Adventist family in Puerto Rico, Bernice's world was shaped by the warmth of her community and the constraints of tradition. Yet, it was these very foundations that set the stage for her profound spiritual awakening. Through unexpected encounters and pivotal decisions, Bernice's narrative unfolds with moments of spiritual enlightenment and personal growth, encouraging us to embrace the unknown with open hearts.

The tale of Bernice meeting Jose at a youth gathering is more than just a love story; it's a testament to faith overcoming the odds. Despite their cultural differences and the challenges of military life, their shared spiritual journey strengthened their bond and led to a new understanding of community and love.

As Bernice's story evolves, it touches on broader themes, like questioning conservative beliefs and discovering new spiritual landscapes. From engaging with diverse church communities to forming deep-rooted friendships, her path was shaped by the embrace of unexpected spiritual opportunities. Highlighted by her time in Puerto Rico, where personal and family transformations took center stage, Bernice's experiences underscore the significance of community and spiritual connection. Her journey is a compelling reminder of the strength found in unity and the endless possibilities when one remains open to love and faith.
