Today Cristabelle shares the heart behind what it means to "Declare Life" after 82 episodes! This is the Season 1 finale. Thank you all for listening and being a part of learning what it means to "Live a Declaration Life" together!
When I started this, I had no idea what podcasting was really like. You all have been so supportive and I am extremely grateful as we have learned together what it means to truly live with intention.
"I have been crucified with Christ and I no longer live, but Christ lives in me. The life I now live in the body, I live by faith in the Son of God, who loved me and gave himself for me." Galatians 2:20
Declaration Life will be back with Season 2 later this year! Stay tuned! And in the meanwhile, feel free to catch up on previous episodes - there is much wisdom to learn from the powerful testimonies and conversations that have been had!

•ABOUT BROOKE•
Brooke Robertson has redemption stories to tell, and with her Burtonwood Records debut album Taking My Voice Back, she's sharing them with the world. This small town-raised Louisiana girl joins pop sensibilities and country soulfulness together with her pure vocal tone and heartfelt lyrics, crafting songs centered on the ways God's redemption weaves its way through all our life experiences-- both heartache and hope.
Brooke's captivating musical storytelling results in tracks like the title cut "Taking My Voice Back," a song centered on Brooke's personal story of forgiveness healing the wounds of sexual abuse from her childhood. Other highlights from the 11 track debut, include the song of surrender "Why Are You Waiting," which features Jason Roy (Building 429). "Purpose for the Pain" stands out as Brooke's thank you to her mom, who endured health complications that threatened both of their lives during pregnancy and the resulting lifelong effects. Allowing Brooke to be here to tell the stories she's singing today..... Taking My Voice Back was produced by Jeremy Holderfield (Seventh Day Slumber) and is available everywhere right now.
