Summary: Michaela Hoffman has grown up going to church to check the religion box but behind the facade was a girl hiding a pile of fear, depression, and coping mechanisms. She measured her value against how she looked and how men treated her. Her relationship with God mimicked this transactional nature.

Michaela also harbored a deep secret — she lived in fear that she wasn’t good enough for heaven. After a close loved one passed away, this secret spiraled her into depression. Only through a miraculous and bold encounter was Michaela able to hear the truth: Jesus already loved her, and she was FREE from sin. Her story is beautiful and demonstrates how God sees us as a whole and loved, even when we’re lost in deception.
