Debra Touchette spent 26 years in active addiction, cycling through jails and institutions, completely convinced she’d never be free. But then God stepped in — and everything changed.
In this episode, Debra shares the raw, real journey of her transformation: from abandoned and addicted to a foster mom, caregiver, and bold woman of faith. Her voice is full of fire, her story full of scars — and her message is full of hope for anyone who thinks they’re too far gone. God is still in the business of radical redemption, and Debi’s life proves it.
If you’re carrying a story or testimony and sense a quiet stirring to do something more with it, but you’re unsure what that next step should be, I’ve created a resource to help you discern that.
The Story Discernment Guide is a reflective guide designed to help you pause, pray, and gain clarity around the story you’re stewarding — before you write, publish, or share it publicly.

Your story is not an accident.
You are healed.
You are whole.
You are called — and stewarding your story well matters.
