I (Mike, the editor of Wow God Stories) have struggled with porn addiction, and maybe you have too. If so, I have full faith that today's episode will strike you in the heart in the deepest way possible. I relate to these stories, and you will too. Hear how... God redeemed Crystal Renaud's hidden struggle with pornography and turned years of shame into a ministry helping other women find healing and freedom. https://sherecovery.com/ Blaine Bartel had a successful life and ministry, but gave everything up for pornography and sexual addiction. When he turned to God, everything changed. https://www.houseofresurrection.life/ Joshua Broome left the porn industry to become a pastor.

God sees far ahead into the future. But I don't! And neither do you. Sometimes, this leads to some exciting and unexpected stories. Today on Wow God Stories, hear how... Olivia faced two major injuries in high school basketball, which would lead her to a calling to ministry years later. God had a plan for Oliva to be a leader! https://www.amazon.com/Where-I-Rest-Olivia-Heikes-ebook/dp/B0HGNKZXTV?crid=1ZWFUYLSUOBLM&dib=eyJ2IjoiMSJ9.USdP3vR5zu1t1dwsaxLmkl0szIfGwv9jvBmGmNkuRPfATCmZ_DkFx7nF5sMKomfI.L4q6MEM53w9x5BpOgRoVf6Zm-Luu2UP30D1rbx4F294&dib_tag=se&keywords=olivia+heikes&qid=1788948724&sprefix=olivia+heikes%2Caps%2C135&sr=8-1  Geony felt called to take a sabbatical, which gave her a chance to say goodbye to her mom.

When you can't find the words to pray, try declaring God's promises and goodness over your life. You'll see incredible things happen. This is something Tara Sierra Mosely discovered. Hear how... In an African village, a Muslim woman named Amina who had been unable to walk for years stood up and walked after prayer in Jesus' name. A last-minute visit to a dying woman in Uganda led to her accepting Jesus. After a severe throat injury left Tara's husband facing major surgery, scans later showed the damage was gone, and he walked out of the hospital hours later fully healed. After Tara's young son faced a possible lymphoma diagnosis, she leaned on Scripture and prayer through a long season of uncertainty, and over time the signs of cancer disappeared.
