Listen "Beauty in Surrender: When Control Isn’t Yours to Hold - Angela's Story "
Episode Synopsis
In this episode of Testimony Transformations, Angela shares her powerful journey of walking through deep physical, emotional, and spiritual hardship after a work-related injury forced her to leave the career she had built for over 26 years. What followed was a season marked by pain, identity loss, discouragement, and a battle to find hope — yet it was there in the valley that Jesus met her tenderly and personally.
Angela shares how God pursued her heart, restored her identity, and taught her to release perfectionism, control, and self-sufficiency so she could rest in the safety of His love. Through Scripture, worship, Christian community, and surrender, God began to replace despair with peace, exhaustion with rest, and striving with trust.
Her testimony is a reminder that:
• God is near to the brokenhearted
• We are not defined by what we do — but by Whose we are
• Surrender is where real healing begins
• No story is too fractured for God to restore
If you are weary, overwhelmed, or holding your life together in your own strength — this episode is living proof that Jesus meets us in the valley… and grows beauty there.
