"My Story: Faith, Art and What's Been Running Through My Veins"

God Will Use Anything—Even the Things We Try to Hide

I used to think my story was too messy to share. That if I just focused on my art and kept quiet about the hard parts, it would be enough.

But here’s what I’ve learned:

God will use anything to get your attention.

Even the pain. Even the silence. Even the parts we’d rather keep hidden.

This week, I opened up on the Running Through My Veins podcast and shared my testimony—the real, raw story behind who I am and how Jesus radically saved me. It wasn’t easy, but I believe our stories are meant to be shared.

Because when we share, we give other people permission to heal too.

We remind them they’re not alone.

and we let God use our scars to shine light for someone else’s path.

If it touches even one heart, it was worth every word.

1 Corinthians 2

“When I came to you, brothers, I did not come with eloquence or wisdom as I proclaimed to you the testimony about God. For I resolved to know nothing while I was with you except Jesus Christ and Him crucified. I came to you in weakness and fear, and with much trembling. My message and my preaching were not with persuasive words of wisdom, but with a demonstration of the Spirit’s power, so that your faith would not rest on men’s wisdom, but on God’s power.”
