Franccesca Sevilla was building a glamorous life in music videos and social media when a growing desire for God took hold.

During a fast, she experienced His love in a way that changed everything. A second fast brought even deeper clarity—it felt like her world turned from black and white to color. She knew God was real.

She gave her life to Him, embraced modesty, committed to chastity, and launched a faith-based fitness ministry to help women honor their bodies. Franccesca’s story proves that life with God is anything but predictable.

Today on Bold Steps, Pastor Mark Jobe explains the power of the tongue. Last time, we started a new series titled, Connected—Breaking Out of Isolation.  And we looked at how our tongues have the power to speak life or death.  And in today’s lesson, we’ll be reminded how encouraging words can cause the people around us to flourish and grow.  Our message is called … Affirm, the Power of Words.

Today on Bold Steps with Pastor Mark Jobe … we’re learning about the power of our words. A lot of us are living in cities and crowded places. Here in Chicago, we have to fight for parking spaces. Yet, even in a crowd, we can sometimes still feel lonely and disconnected. We feel that way because we’re missing real, authentic connections with people. We may live around them, but we don’t know them. Those who want to grow and mature in their lives and in their faith, are the people who are most connected in their marriage, with their family, and in church and the community. And in this series, we’re going to be learning how to break down some walls that lead to isolation and today, starting with a message about the Power of Words.
