Episode Summary

In this powerful episode, Nikki Cruise sits down with Karen Mettam to explore what it truly means to bring our whole, honest selves before God. Through deeply personal stories, Karen shares how “messy prayers from a messy heart” became the doorway to healing, identity restoration, and Kingdom impact.
