What if your lowest moment… is actually where your story begins?

In this episode of Why I Believe, I sit down with Amanda Hietter, CEO, entrepreneur, and woman of faith; to share a powerful story of transformation, redemption, and purpose.

Amanda's journey wasn't easy.

From teen pregnancy and abusive relationships to addiction, jail, and hitting rock bottom, her life was marked by pain, broken identity, and searching for something to fill the void.

Until everything changed.

At her lowest point, with nothing left and nowhere to turn, Amanda cried out to God. And what followed wasn't an overnight transformation, but a steady, powerful journey back to faith, healing, and purpose.

We talk about:

• Struggling with identity and searching for worth in the wrong places
• Addiction, rock bottom, and the moment everything shifted
• What it truly means to surrender (not control) your life to God
• How small, daily steps rebuild your faith
• Why your story, no matter how messy, can be used for good

Amanda's story is raw, honest, and deeply hopeful.

It's a reminder that no matter how far you've gone… you are never too far for God to reach you.

If you've ever felt lost, broken, or unworthy, this episode is for you.
