Ministry Team Testimonies

I am a wife, mother, writer, entrepreneur, sinner and Jesus junkie... I haven't always followed the Lord, in fact, a large part of this ministry is based upon my personal testimony on surviving drug addiction, alcoholism and a life lived in sin & trauma.

I've suffered molestation, rape and sexual assault, been cast out from a church before, suffered major traumas, robbed houses, stolen cars and also performed internet prostitution, among other things; was a teen mom and high school dropout, was homeless on the streets of Atlanta, have had a gun to my head and a knife to my throat, have suffered marital trauma and divorce and have lost everything more than once...but God healed me, and He can heal you, too!

I was saved by Grace when I was 15 years old, but didn’t maintain pursuit in a relationship with the Lord and have suffered the wiles of the world as a result. I knew at age 16 I was called to ministry, but anytime I would get close to God over the years, I’d turn and run the other way…

I believed the lie that I was not worthy of His love, His forgiveness, or in my ability to share His message, but the Word of God tells me the exact opposite and I now stand firm in the Truth. When I finally cried out for help, He met me where I was-broken and ugly by societies standards. Thankfully He doesn’t let even one sheep stay lost, He welcomes the prodigals back with love and He has redeemed me to where my story can be of maximum help to others, all for His glory!

This ministry is to help show people the power of a life lived in Jesus and to help strengthen and grow Christians on their walk with the Lord. I hope that whatever you read on this site helps to strengthen you and share the love of Jesus with you!

I may not be a biblical scholar or "look the part" of a minister, but God doesn't always call the qualified- he qualifies the called! And that is how this ministry came to be.

Love in Christ ~ Miranda Embry

I was born into a family of Baptist preachers, surrounded by love and the message of Jesus from the very start. I accepted Christ as my Lord and Savior at a young age and rededicated my life at 12. However, that didn’t prevent me from straying onto a path of my own making.

Growing up, my family traveled the country in evangelism. My dad preached revivals while we sang and played instruments together. But when I turned 18, my world shattered. My parents divorced in a very public way, and I found myself in a church service where my father was used as an example of what sin can do. It was soul-crushing. With the end of my family’s ministry, I lost my way, my identity deeply intertwined with my family's purpose, leaving me adrift and forgetting Whose I truly was.

At 20, I began to experience health issues with no clear explanation. Medication led to weight gain, and as depression set in, I turned to food for comfort. Boredom turned into a habit, and before I knew it, I weighed 260 pounds, standing barely 5 feet tall. That’s when the self-loathing began. Desperate for love, I married a man I knew was wrong for me, convinced by the enemy that it was the best I could do. Tragically, it was. I was settling for my best instead of God's best.

I became pregnant, but shortly after, my husband—a drug addict—went to prison for robbery. Devastation and embarrassment consumed me, but I had made my bed, and I had to lie in it. My focus shifted to preparing for my son, Remi, who was born sleeping. The grief that followed was indescribable. He would be the only child God would grant me, and though I couldn’t keep him on this earth, being his mother was the greatest blessing of my life.

In the depths of my sorrow, I struggled to breathe, leading to a diagnosis of a rare lung disease called LAM, which only affects women. I never knew such a thing existed until it became my reality. A double lung transplant loomed in my future, but by God's grace, I’ve continued to sing and serve Him despite this challenge.

When my husband was released from prison, I endured torment from his physical, sexual, and psychological abuse. But when I finally surrendered everything to God, He delivered me from the prison of my marriage and the prison of my weight—I lost 120 pounds! Through His Word, He transformed me into someone I now love—someone with identity and purpose in Him.

I believe fully in the authority and sufficiency of Scripture as God’s unchanging Word. I believe in one God in three Persons: Father, Son, and Holy Spirit. Salvation is by grace alone, through faith alone, in Christ alone. Jesus Christ, the Son of God, lived a sinless life, died for my sins, and rose again in victory, offering eternal life to all who believe in Him. The Christian life is a journey of growth, surrender, and obedience, lived out in community and empowered by the Spirit.

This journey has not been easy, but it has been filled with grace and healing. I stand as a testament to the power of His love and redemption, ready to share hope with others who may feel lost.
