What happens when your life falls apart and you find yourself alone in a new state with no support system? For Ana, this breaking point became the foundation for an extraordinary journey back to faith and purpose.
A journey through a "legalistic" Christian household, feeling controlled by family expectations, an abusive marriage, and a strong addiction to pornography are just some of Ana's story we'll discuss. Her refreshing and authentic approach to leading herself first is eye-opening and rare!
Through her podcast "Honest Christian Conversations," Ana creates space for Christians to discuss topics often considered taboo in church settings. Her mission stems from her own experience of feeling unable to express doubts or ask questions within her faith community. "I started the podcast because I'm tired of skirting around issues," she explains, "I don't want people to be led down the same path as me."

• Moving from Sacramento to Connecticut to escape family control and an abusive ex-husband
• Building a blended family and navigating co-parenting with multiple fathers
• Supporting a daughter struggling with identity issues while maintaining clear boundaries
• Overcoming a 17-year pornography addiction and finding freedom at a porn convention
• Creating the "Honest Christian Conversations" podcast to address topics often considered taboo in church
• Committing to radical honesty after years of feeling like a hypocrite
• Learning Russian with the goal of sharing the gospel with Russian speakers
