Internal Bleeding

This week on Paths to Glory, we sit with a young woman who was baptized in the name of Jesus Christ before she could tie her own shoes, and received the Holy Ghost when she was five years old. She did not need to be rescued from the streets. She did not need to be rescued from a jail cell. She needed to be rescued from something the world was never going to see — a slow bleeding on the inside of a life that looked, from every angle out there, exactly the way a Pentecostal life is supposed to look.Her father was a lay minister who prayed people through to the Holy Ghost — until he wasn't. Her mother was a woman of quiet, unshakable prayer who never spoke a word against him. And the daughter in between them carried, for years, a bitterness so heavy she still uses the word hatred to describe it.This is the story of what a sermon she cannot remember started in her, what a pastor's wife's single sentence finished, what a very specific prayer received a very specific answer to within fifteen minutes, and what a house fire two weeks before her wedding taught her about the family of God.And, in the end, of a childhood memory about a light that could finally be turned off — because the room had never actually been empty.www.pathstoglory.com If you’re enjoying Paths to Glory, be sure to check out our two other podcasts!Paths to Glory Kenya shares powerful stories of faith and transformation from the heart of Africa — voices of hope, revival, and purpose.And for the young — and the young at heart — don’t miss The Jones Family Chronicles, a fun, faith-filled adventure series for the whole family.You can find Paths to Glory Kenya and The Jones Family ChroniclesThe song "Paths to Glory" created with Udio and written by Roy Allison IV.687DnYhOfZWHus5AEqMx
