  How I Lost Everything & Found God Powerful Testimony of Pastor Sue Mbogo From Rebellion to Pulpit 13.11.2025 1h 2min

  I sit down with a woman whose life reads like a novel: from the high of youthful rebellion, to the depths of addiction, through the heartbreak of losing her father, a radical shift in faith, a period of renouncing God & then a miraculous return to Him. Today she stands as a pastor, married by a pastor & is walking in purpose.We talk about:• What it really felt like to lose her dad and fall into darkness• The turning point when she realised drugs weren’t filling the emptiness• Why she walked away from faith, and what it took to come back fully• The defining moment she accepted a call into ministry despite her past• How she navigates married life as a former addict and current pastorIf you’ve ever felt too broken, too far gone, or unworthy of a second chance… this is for you. Allow Pst Sue’s courage to remind you: you’re not defined by what you’ve done, but by what you’re open to become.If you prayed Pst. Sue's prayer and want to be Born Again, please reach her on Instagram on @wholewoman_global.
