Living Testimonies

In this powerful episode, we sit down with Tabitha Yates, a survivor whose journey through trauma, mental illness, and faith has shaped a calling to speak truth and bring hope to others. Tabitha grew up in a home marked by abuse, carrying the weight of depression, anxiety, PTSD, self-harm, and even a suicide attempt into adulthood. For years, she believed her struggles were signs of weak faith—a message reinforced by the church that left her feeling abandoned in her darkest season.

But Tabitha’s story didn’t end there. Through therapy and a renewed relationship with Jesus, she discovered that mental illness is not a spiritual failure, but part of the healing journey God can redeem. Today, she shares openly about breaking stigma, confronting trauma, and finding freedom in both faith and professional help.

Join us as Tabitha unpacks her journey and the message behind her book Jesus and Therapy—an honest invitation to anyone wrestling with their faith and mental health to know they are not alone, healing is possible, and Jesus walks with us every step of the way.

Your Story, His Glory!

In this inspiring episode of Living Testimonies, I sit down with Rachel McCord—media entrepreneur and founder of the TV show The McCord List and Holy Spirit Vibe Clothing—as she shares her powerful journey of healing and faith.

Growing up amid challenging circumstances, Rachel always sensed God’s hand guiding her life. But it wasn’t until a series of life-changing encounters with Jesus that everything began to shift. He brought emotional healing, and just as she started walking in newfound freedom, Rachel faced another trial—open-heart surgery.

One year later, Rachel reflects on how God’s presence became undeniably real during that season. Her journey didn’t just bring physical healing—it sparked a new vision: Holy Spirit Vibe, a ministry dedicated to spreading the love and presence of Jesus.

You’ll be deeply encouraged by her testimony of restoration, purpose, and surrender. Tune in and let your faith be stirred by the incredible things God can do when we trust Him through every season.

Your Story, His Glory!

In this powerful episode of Living Testimonies, Adam Swedenburg opens up about his journey from a traumatic childhood in foster care to a life of purpose as a youth pastor and podcast host.

Removed from an abusive home at age three, Adam was adopted by a youth pastor but battled deep anger toward God, leading him into addiction and gang life. His transformation began when he noticed the unexplainable joy of churchgoers even in the face of loss. Though he gave his life to Christ at 16, surrender was a process-and so was discovering his true calling.

From walking away from nursing school to pursue ministry, to building a thriving youth group from 3 to over 23 students, Adam's testimony is a moving reminder that our darkest moments can become the foundation of our greatest purpose.

Whether you're in the middle of your own valley or supporting someone who is, this episode will stir your faith and inspire hope.
