    I gave my life to Christ after i turned 17
    Prior to then,I knew I was in the dark( music,yoga,bad influences). I relied on them to find peace and to take away depression
    I just opened UA-cam one day to listen to “depressing songs”and my feed changed.
    I started seeing that everything I engaged in was pure evil.
    I knew I needed a change,a filling,a new life and right there in my room, I accepted the life of christ❤
    I am 18 now and I must say that I have never been happier
    Next month will be a year that I started walking with God❤.
    Thank you Jesus
    Thank you Shining light podcast
    Thank you sister Ezinne (in Amanda’s voice😂❤)
    I honestly and truly love and appreciate you❤.

    The first time I encountered Ezinne was during a fast and I was fasting for the very wrong reasons as they had made sense to me then. She spoke about Matthew 6:33 and she angrily spoke it felt like God was warning me😂. This has been my favorite scripture and foundation of everything I do since then. It birthed intentionality within me.

    I have never related with any story this much, I'm less that 15 mins into the story but I feel God brought me here. I'm a Catholic as well , grew up in a Catholic home. I have never been a bad girl but I knew there was so more God wanted from me. My story changed after a terrible breakup. And I prayed the same prayer you prayed during the breakup. But I'm here looking for more, to grow and to live that experiential life of Christ

    Dear beautiful ezinne, I don't know who said that the Saints didn't sin and if you can recall, according to the stories of the saints it talks about their lives and in some cases how they've come short of God's grace, my point is that everyone has fallen short of God's grace including the incorruptible saints but it's what they did after embracing God's mercy that matters and they handled sin with the obvious and active help from God that matters, that's why their stories inspires us to want to be holy so we too can love God as we ought to and they these graces that they too enjoyed.
