She was injured, addicted to sugar, and stuck in body shame… until God set her free.

At 58, Kim Castro was recovering from a car accident, battling body dysmorphia, and hooked on candy and energy drinks. She felt like change wasn’t possible… but God had a different story for her.

Hear how He broke the chains, renewed her mind, and restored her joy. Kim is now free from food addictions, confident in her body, and more in love with Jesus than ever before.

And the best part? What He did for her, He can do for you, too.
