In this powerful and hope-filled episode, Nicole C. Mullen joins us to talk about choosing faith over fear—even when the path forward feels broken. With raw honesty, she shares her story of walking through an abusive marriage, the courage it took to say "enough," and how God met her with redemption, grace, and purpose.
- We also explore:
How fear must be addressed before faith can take root - What we can learn about suffering when doing all the “right things” from Job
- What Rahab can teach us about courage
- Why God still uses us—even after detours and mistakes
- How to walk by faith when sight isn’t an option
- Breaking free from shame, guilt, and fear
Whether you're in a season of struggle, change, or healing, this conversation will remind you: You haven’t missed your moment. God can still get you where you need to be.
