In Episode 14, author Karin Thompson joins the podcast from Sydney, Australia, to share her remarkable journey from a childhood of severe abuse to a life defined by radical forgiveness and kindness. Karin opens up about the life-changing Sunday school invitation that introduced her to Jesus at age 12, framing Him as an "invisible friend" who would never leave her side. Listen in as she discusses the inspiration behind her books, including My Journey to Enjoy My Life, and the beautiful story of how her unwavering faith eventually led her husband to Christ, helping him heal from severe PTSD after a 10-year war in South Africa. Karin's powerful testimony is a beautiful reminder that holding onto anger and bitterness destroys your fruit, but surrendering to Jesus can completely rewrite your family legacy, proving that your past does not have to define you.
