31. Sweet Repeat: The Story That Started It All (What God Did for Me, He Can Do for You)

In this special Sweet Repeat episode, Brenda revisits the powerful testimony that launched the Day One of Sobriety podcast and ministry. She shares how God intervened at her lowest point and began a journey of healing, mind renewal, and lasting freedom. This episode is an invitation to pause, reflect, and remember that no past is beyond redemption — your brain can be renewed, and your future can look radically different than your history.

• God designed the brain to change; through mind renewal, old patterns can be rewired and replaced with truth.
