Claudia grew up in Mexico in a large family, raised by a single mother. By 19, she found herself pregnant and in an abusive marriage. Even in the midst of those difficult circumstances, she found a church that introduced her to Jesus. Eventually, she made her way to Tulsa with her two boys, free from that relationship.

In this episode, hear how Claudia built a new life in Tulsa, how she found Evergreen, and how God convicted her to bring her desires to Him in prayer rather than simply weep over them. Her testimony will encourage you to pray and trust our redeeming Father, who can take a broken situation and make it more whole than we could ever imagine.

It wasn’t until his interaction with other believers that he thought more seriously about having a faith in God. Eventually with a move to Tulsa, he met another believer who hosted him in his home and shared his faith. Channing’s testimony is a great reminder that the word of God can change you from the inside out and that discipleship is a gift from God to help us in our faith walk.
