From “Good Person” to True Faith | Testify

In this episode of Testify, Amanda shares how God transformed her idea of simply being a “good person” into a deep, personal relationship with Jesus equating to true faith that changed her whole family, her homeschooling journey, and her calling as a mom. Growing up with strong morals, church on Sundays, and exposure to Bible programs, Amanda thought that made her a Christian. But as she moved from public school into homeschooling, God used Christian community, youth group, and faithful Bible teaching to reveal who Jesus truly is — not just a distant figure or “God’s favorite angel,” but the one who saves sinners. #testifypodcast #christiantestimony #FaithJourney #Homeschooling #ChristianMom #ChristianParenting #JesusSaves #Gospel #MissionTrip #Cameroon ✨ In this honest conversation, Amanda shares: 1.
