#231 Ange: The Chains That Bound Her


Listen Later

Ange shares her powerful journey from growing up with a transactional view of God to discovering the freedom that comes through understanding her true identity in Christ. She opens up about childhood trauma, religious performance, and how gospel truth transformed her life.

• Grew up in an Adventist family in Rwanda believing God's love was conditional on her behavior
• Experienced childhood trauma that led to shame and unhealthy coping mechanisms
• Struggled with self-worth and body image issues throughout adolescence
• Used romance novels and pornography to regulate emotions when feeling rejected
• Believed Romans 7 meant Christians were destined to struggle with sin forever
• Health scare in 2020 began shifting her understanding of God's character
• Discovered the truth that she was already right with God through Jesus
• Found freedom from addictive behaviors not through trying harder but by understanding her identity
• Now experiences a relationship with God based on love rather than fear
• Regulates emotions through talking to God and community rather than unhealthy coping mechanisms

The world doesn't think that the gospel can change your life, but we know that it can and that's why we want you to hear these stories, stories of transformation, stories of freedom, people getting free from sin and healed from sin because of Jesus.
