Today’s special guest is Pastor Daphne Lewis. Pastor Daphne is a woman of deep, abiding faith and trust in the Lord. On today’s episode, she takes us back to the beginnings of her personal relationship with the Lord and shares how her love and trust in God deepened and grew over time, most often through trials and difficulties. Growing up in the church and having a grandmother who was strong in her faith helped to lay the foundation for who God was for Pastor Daphne. Yet, as a teenager found she had strayed from living a life that honored the Lord. She had her first of 6 children at the age of 15 as an unwed mother, faced rejection and criticism from within her church family, and found herself living alone with her children in the projects. Pastor Daphne shares how the Lord repeatedly showed up for her during her lowest and darkest times; her “Red Sea Moments” where only God could make the way. Her relationship with the Lord grew from one of friendship to one of total surrender to God. She was willing to die to self and what she wanted so that God’s will concerning her life could be done. Today she is a woman of radical faith who trusts the Lord to guide her every step!

“Now faith is confidence in what we hope for and assurance about what we do not see.” -Hebrews 11:1

“Those who belong to Christ Jesus have crucified the flesh with its passions and desires.” -Galatians 5:24

“Surrender yourself to the LORD, and wait patiently for him.” -Psalm 37:7

“In all your ways acknowledge Him, and He will make your paths straight.” -Proverbs 3:6

“So when your faith remains strong through many trials, it will bring you much praise and glory and honor on the day when Jesus Christ is revealed to the whole world.” -1 Peter 1:7
