5 Real Women. 5 Real Stories of Hope.
Subscribe today to get access to all 5 interviews.
Story is one of the most powerful tools in God's Kingdom...
"And they overcame...by the blood of the Lamb, and by the word of their testimony." (Revelation 12:11)
In this harsh world, we have each experienced brokenness and heartbreak. Some have experienced abuse and neglect from an early age.
And still most people go to work and church, putting on a good face, trying to ignore or hide the pain they feel inside. Isolated in a crowd.
By staying silent about our struggles and silent about God’s healing, there is a vacuum the enemy is free to speak into.
Beauty From The Ashes speaks loud and clear into that silence.
These brave women share what it’s like to be in a dark place and then what’s like to climb out leaning on God for every ounce of strength into healing.
You’ll receive HOPE in:
- God’s healing strength
- Powerful coping tools & strategies
- Connection with real women who understand the struggle

The Lord restores! He brings us a crown of beauty from the ashes...
I'm your host, Ginny Priz (Certified Christian Life Coach & Speaker). God blessed me by creating me with a right arm that only extends just below the elbow. My prosthetic keeps me "armed" for anything.
I'm also a survivor of trials that left me in ashes. My identity as "the good girl" was torched in 2011 when my codependency and reliance on alcohol earned me a conviction for "Driving Under the Influence."
I would have stayed in that shameful, despairing place if it weren't for the stories of other men and women who'd been there, leaned on God, and came out STRONGER for it!
I'm an author, coach, and Christian television talk show host of Bloom Today, which airs on CTN and Inspiration TV (INI) in over 150 countries.
My desire, and the desire of these 5 women, is to share hope and healing with you. Whether you are under fire or seeking to understand another's pain, this is where HOPE starts - with testimonies of those who have been there and thrived!
"Come and listen, all you who fear God, and I will tell you what he did for me." (Psalm 66:16)
I understand it can be extremely difficult or unsafe to discuss some topics with even our closest of friends and family. And yet, we cannot heal without community.
This is a safe opportunity to hear how others have hurt in similar ways and then taken steps to heal.
Our desire is that by learning from our experience and wisdom you will find the courage to make real changes and write the next chapter of your story as you grow in freedom with Christ!
In this series we’ll be discussing how to start a new chapter in your story despite:
- Cancer
- Childhood Sexual Abuse
- Mental Illness/Diagnosis
- Depression
- Divorce & Remarriage
“Bear one another’s burdens, and so fulfill the law of Christ.” - Galatians 6:2
The People You’ll Meet:
These Godly men & women have received healing in these topics and are bravely stepping into the light to share their experience, strength, and hope!
By revealing intimate details of their struggles and victories, these warriors are CELEBRATING how the LORD restored beauty from the ashes!
