What if your life could change in a single moment… even before you felt "ready"?

In this episode of Why I Believe, I sit down with Jayne O'Hara, Christian life coach, trauma recovery specialist, and women's ministry leader, to share a powerful story of deliverance, healing, and walking in faith.

Jayne's journey began in the middle of addiction.

Raised in a family with generations of alcohol abuse, she found herself caught in the same cycle, until one moment changed everything.

Her first prayer?

Spoken while holding a beer.

What happened next was immediate and undeniable, she set it down and never picked it up again.

But that was just the beginning.

We talk about:

• Breaking free from generational addiction
• The difference between instant deliverance and long-term healing
• Learning to process emotions without old coping mechanisms
• Parenting through challenges, including raising children with special needs
• A powerful moment of breakthrough and transformation in her daughter's life
• What it really looks like to trust God, even when it's uncomfortable

Jayne's story is both bold and deeply hopeful.

It's a reminder that God doesn't wait for you to have it all together… He meets you exactly where you are.

And sometimes, freedom starts with a single, honest prayer.

If you've ever felt stuck in patterns you can't break, questioned if change is possible, or wondered if God could really meet you where you are—this episode will speak directly to you.
