Key Takeaways:

1. From Broken to Bold: Stephanie’s divorce became her divine reset—proof that rock bottom can be the foundation for a faith that won’t quit.
2. Salvation ≠ Perfection: Real transformation isn’t about being flawless; it’s fighting your battles with Scripture in one hand and grit in the other.
3. Surrender Wins: Financial fears, triggers, and shame lost their grip when she traded control for God’s promises.
4. Healing is Holy Work: Naming pain (not numbing it) and praying for enemies became her unexpected path to freedom.
5. Purpose Over Plans: Her story screams: Your mess isn’t the end—it’s material for a miracle.
