Welcome to The Unique Light Podcast.
In this special episode our guest feature of the year we welcome Jena-Lee Oerson , a young woman whose story is one of pain, survival, and redemption.
Jena opens up about her childhood in Eden Park, where she faced bullying in school and started experimenting with drugs first out of curiosity, and later as a way to cope with the chaos and heaviness in her life. She bravely shares her experience of enduring physical abuse at the hands of the man she loved, and the harsh reality she was forced to confront: she had to make a choice to stay and risk being killed, or to break free and flee to Cape Town for a chance at a new life.
But in the middle of the mess, God never left her side. It was through her mother’s faithful prayers and God’s quiet presence that Jena found the strength to walk away, leave the drugs behind, and take that bold step towards freedom and a fresh start.
This episode is a powerful reminder that even in the darkest places, God’s light can still shine. Jena’s story will move you, challenge you, and inspire you to believe in hope again.
