name's Jennifer and this is my story I'd been bullied at school for many years I'd gone to university but still felt detached and alone so I'd, yeah, I left uni and looked at different careers I just couldn't find identity My way out of that was to go abroad and I was on holiday in Cappadocia which Paul writes about in the New Testament I'd just got married five months before and within about a week or two of coming back from Turkey I was gone from my home My eyes had been opened to the fact that I was not safe in my home I was terrified I'd done all these things, crystals, Tarot, everything, you name it, looking for Jesus When I first got to church I was aware that the men, especially, they were very different in terms of conversation and respect and kindness and gentleness because I had not experienced that at all I'd experienced anger, rejection, violence and I don't see those things Not in my church, I don't see those, and it's, everyone is equal Women are given space and a voice and love All of the experiences I have come through in life it's all for redemption A lot of time spent getting to know who God is through His word It's God of the Bible first of all, that's what I knew, but it wasn't until the following spring that I realised it was Jesus His suffering was greater than mine or anyone else's could ever be He died and He visited hell and I felt it was really, very very tough and dark for me but I didn't do either of those things and he did that out of His love for me Download video [ ##### Jennifer's Story (HD) ###### 1920 x 1080 - 110.3 MB
