In this episode of Bleeding Daylight, Rodney Olsen sits down with Donna Aust, whose life transformation led her from a successful yet anxiety-ridden corporate career and martial arts instruction to a deep relationship with God. Donna shares how her pursuit of truth and meaning took her down unexpected paths, including involvement in a cult, but ultimately, God's grace led her to a profound understanding of His love and redemption. Her book, *When Hope Comes*, explores these themes through the lens of the biblical story of Ruth, revealing God's character and our identity in Him.

Donna's story offers powerful insights into how God meets us where we are, even in the midst of confusion and rebellion, and gently guides us toward His truth. As she reflects on her past life of fear and perfectionism, she speaks about the transformative impact of knowing God's grace and love, and how it continues to shape her ministry today.
