info_outlineWelcome to the Mosaic Life Podcast. In this third season our conversations and stories are centered around resilience, transformation, and unwavering hope. We will discuss narratives of individuals who have encountered the liberating power of recovery and have overcome difficult circumstances. The primary goal of this collection of conversations is to inspire, inform, and instill hope in you, and cultivate a deeper understanding that freedom and healing are obtainable.
Today's episode is a special one for me, my friend. For over 25 years, Rebecca Contreras is joining us. She is a powerhouse and immediately she gives us a master class on resilience. One thing she does is lead us to the truth, that with the power of God, nothing is off the table no matter what our past says about us. So no matter your story, get ready to be inspired and challenged by my friend Rebecca.
We would love to offer you a free guide to help you further process and reflect with the Holy Spirit, as you go to Him to restore your soul. www.themosaiclife.org/cope
