S4 | E11 – Becoming Me

From a young age, Miriam Chapman lived under a cloud of fear that left her feeling isolated, insecure, and alone. As she grew older, the sense that God was distant and silent only deepened her struggle, and she spiraled into drugs, self-harm, and despair while searching for escape and for worth.

With her life beginning to unravel, Miriam fought to hold on to any scrap of hope. Just when the darkness seemed overwhelming, God met her in the middle of it—pulling her out of despair and slowly reshaping the way she understood herself, her story, and His presence in her life.
