Have you ever felt like you couldn’t walk into a church because you weren’t “holy enough” or “Christian enough”? You’re not alone. In this episode of From Unwanted to Becoming Unashamed, Katie shares her own struggles with feeling unworthy and looks at the stories of people in the Bible who fell short but were transformed through God's Work, plan and purpose!

In this episode, we uncover the powerful difference between joy and happiness through a biblical lens. Happiness often rises and falls with our circumstances—good news, achievements, or comforts. But joy is something deeper, a gift from God that can anchor us even when life feels uncertain.  If you’ve ever felt weary chasing happiness or wondered how to hold onto peace in hard seasons, this conversation will remind you that joy is not only possible, it’s promised to those who walk with Him. 

In this episode I share the backstory of my testimony and why I feel called to speak openly about my walk with Jesus. This is the introduction to my journey from feeling unwanted by God and overlooked by the world to finding the freedom to live unashamed of the Gospel.

I talk about my early years, the choices I made, the things I explored, and the challenges I faced along the way. Most of all I share how God was working through it all and how His grace began shaping me into who I am today.

This is just the beginning. In the episodes that follow I will take you deeper into the details of what I walked through and how Jesus transformed my story into one of hope, healing, and unashamed faith.
