Have you ever wondered what it looks like when God rewrites a child's story from the inside out? In this special episode of CampFire Faith with Maggie & Friends, Maggie sits down with her dear friend Cierra for a conversation about restoration, faith, and what it means to be truly seen. Maggie first met Cierra when Cierra was a third grader in her AWANA class in Grapeland, Texas. What Maggie didn't know then was the difficult story Cierra was carrying underneath that photographic memory for Bible verses, which you'll hear about today. Cierra opens up about the exact day she came to faith in Christ, the mentors who took her in as their own, and how she went from a hurting little girl to Grapeland's valedictorian, a Texas A&M graduate, and now a woman with her master's in theological studies while working at the very camp that once helped change her life. This conversation is a powerful reminder that no story is too broken for God to redeem, and that sometimes the people who show up for a child matter more than they will ever know. To make sure you never miss a conversation, subscribe to CampFire Faith with Maggie & Friends on Apple Podcasts, Spotify, or wherever you listen.
