The God Who Blesses and Make Things New<\/strong><\/p>\n

Dannah Gresh has learned over the years, both from her personal life and her work with Pure Freedom Ministries<\/a>, which she co-founded with husband, Bob, that the ways of God will amaze you, heal you, and make you new.<\/p>\n

Tune in to this special New Year\u2019s Day episode of the Cedarville Stories<\/em> podcast and be encouraged by Dannah\u2019s story of redemption.<\/p>\n

God has blessed Dannah in many, many ways throughout her life.<\/p>\n

Her mom came to faith while Dannah\u2019s baby brother was critically ill in the hospital, transforming her family overnight. Her baby brother survived and now serves with Pure Freedom.<\/p>\n

God\u2019s goodness continued to shine as He led both Dannah and Bob to Cedarville University, where they met and began their journey together. God gave them a beautiful family and then enlarged it through the adoption of a wonderful teenage daughter from China when their biological children were also teens.<\/p>\n

And the Lord helped Pure Freedom make a timely pivot from an all in-person, event-based ministry to digital and virtual programming just before the COVID-19 pandemic hit.<\/p>\n

The goodness of the Lord has been abundantly clear.<\/p>\n

But more than that, Jesus met Dannah in a very personal way to heal her from sexual pain in her teenage years and prepare her to be a voice for truth in an age when truth, as she says in the podcast, is being crucified.<\/p>\n

\u201cI haven\u2019t lived a perfect life; I haven\u2019t lived a sinless life. There\u2019s an unworthiness that we carry with us, I think, until the day that we are with Jesus, when we look into His eyes face to face,\u201d she shares during the podcast.<\/p>\n

Hear more about how Christ made Dannah new and prepared her to share His truth of forgiveness, joy, and hope with young people on the Cedarville Stories<\/em> podcast.<\/p>\n
