In this episode, I share my personal journey of transformation—both physically and spiritually. I open up about my struggles with health, self-care, and my past involvement in New Age practices. Through my testimony, I talk about how Christ met me in the middle of it all and how He led me through the process of becoming a new creation. I also share the key scriptures that guided and strengthened me along the way, and I encourage you to embrace your own transformation with faith and openness to God’s healing.

In this episode, I take you on a personal journey through one of the most transformative chapters of my life. I share what it was like moving to Sweden in the middle of a global pandemic, navigating the pressures and loneliness of the PhD grind, and the unexpected way God met me there. From cultural shock to spiritual awakening, this is the story of how a challenging academic pursuit became a providential path to discovering Christ.

In this episode, I dive into the beauty of embracing rejection as divine protection. I share how every “no” in my life has led to a better “yes,” and how God often uses closed doors to shield us from pain or prepare us for something greater. I talk about the importance of trusting God’s timing, even when it doesn’t match our own. Drawing from Romans 8:28, I reflect on how all things truly do work together for those who love the Lord and are called according to His purpose.

From my days working at a dive shop to my time at an aquarium, I open up about navigating challenges like the global recession and my winding road to college. I highlight the power of community, mentorship, and perseverance—and I encourage you to chase your God-given dreams with faith and determination.

In the very first episode of Kristal Ocean Speaks, I introduce myself and share the heart behind this podcast—where faith and science beautifully intertwine.
