It was like that little acknowledgement was enough consent for him to walk through the door. And he pushed through that door and just surrounded me with his love.
Caleigh Weichbrodt's journey from addiction and atheism to becoming an evangelist is nothing short of inspiring. In this episode, she sits down with hosts Jerry and Tanya Gioia to share her powerful story of transformation. Once trapped in a cycle of sex and love addiction, Caleigh recounts how she found herself in a Celebrate Recovery programme.
It was there, amidst the testimonies of others, that she first reached out to God, feeling an overwhelming sense of love and acceptance that changed her life forever. She describes this moment as being wrapped in an 'electric rescue blanket' of warmth and love, a metaphor that vividly captures the intensity of her experience. Caleigh opens up about the deep shame she carried from her past, stemming from toxic relationships and a desperate need for control.
Her journey towards healing involved not only spiritual awakening but also practical steps like seeking therapy and building a secure attachment to God. She highlights the importance of finding identity through Christ, which helped her break free from her destructive patterns and start anew. The episode also touches on the challenges Caleigh faced in her marriage, especially when her husband moved out shortly after her father's death.
Through these trials, she learned to surrender control and trust in God's plan, finding peace and strength in her faith. Now, as a wife, mother, and evangelist, Caleigh is dedicated to sharing the message of grace, redemption, and freedom with others. If you're looking for a story of hope and transformation, this episode is a must-listen. Caleigh's raw honesty and unwavering faith will leave you feeling inspired and encouraged to seek your own path to recovery and purpose.
