In Episode 53, Hadassah Treu joins the podcast from Bulgaria to share her powerful journey of finding faith in a communist country where God was strictly forbidden. As a teenager struggling with a difficult family situation and suicidal depression, Hadassah gave God a daring ultimatum: reveal yourself in six months, or she would end her life.
Listen in to hear the miraculous way God answered her prayer just in time, leading her to an Evangelical church where she was instantly saved and baptized with the Holy Spirit at age 17!Hadassah also vulnerably discusses navigating a later season of deep grief and disillusionment when God allowed a painful situation that went completely against her prayers. She shares hard-earned wisdom on how to survive spiritual disappointment, explaining that true healing only came when she completely surrendered to God's will without needing to understand it. If you are struggling through a season of doubt or searching for meaning, Hadassah’s reminder that God is your greatest treasure will deeply encourage you!
