Thanking my God for Elevation Church! I found Pastor Steven Furtick from a client here at Freeman Recovery about a month ago and it was then I got really close to God. I'm currently on my journey to a life long sobriety, dealing with grief from the loss of my son on Dec 16 2024 due to a car accident, while also rebuilding my marriage and fighting for my kids. I'M ONE OF GOD'S CHOSEN AND I'M FINALLY CHOOSING MY GOD

In 2020 my wife and I had went to a lawyer and got divorce papers -- they were filled out and was laying on kitchen table. I’ll never forget as my wife was leaving and headed to Utah she handed me a phone and said promise me you will watch this sermon. It ended up being Pastor Furtick preaching about taking down the sin of offense. It wrecked me so much and made me reconsider what we were doing. Our marriage over the next few months was restored and we have been married now 8 years and have been able to attend multiple Pop Ups, Elevation Nights, and we even became Watch Party and eGroup leaders over the the past five years. Look at God -- from almost broken to walking in Gods presence and hands!!

Three years ago I was so lost and so far from my father. I stumbled across a sermon called What Comes After. When Pastor Steven started singing and playing Amazing Grace something happened inside me. I realized I was never really lost I had just forgotten who to turn to. After that I started watching Elevation and got my husband to as well. Then in the picture I posted a couple years later we attended the church for the first time and he got baptized while we were there! I am so grateful to be a part of eFam. I thankful for this church and can't wait to come visit again and we will be attending Elevation Nights in Knoxville TN for the 2nd time in March! The Music is so powerful it is what brought us both back to where we needed to be. Where we belong! Amen Amen!

Two years ago last week I was diagnosed with cancer. A day that I will never forget I was getting one of my scans to determine the size of the cancer and a treatment plan and one of the songs that Elevation Worship had come out with Same God started playing in my headphones. I never knew who they were until that day and immediately a peace came over me that I have never felt before it was God telling me that I was going to be OK he was in control. That day changed my life. I knew God and grew up in church but had fallen away. God is in my home again. I watch every Sunday morning online. There isnt a day that I'm not praising Jesus. I live in Michigan and traveled to Kentucky just recently with my sister-in-law to go to Elevation Nights. We are scheduled to go to elevation nights in Grand Rapids in March with our husbands. God is good!

My name is Laura I grew up in the church at a young age but I didn’t really have a relationship with God as I do now. When I was 17 I was in an abusive situation for 2 years I felt dirty and used after it was over and I blamed myself for it but I now know it was not me. 2 years later things got bad and I remember crying out to God sitting on the floor asking if your there please help me I was trying to take my own life but I felt God telling me your story isn’t over. In 2019 I found Elevation Church one of first sermons I heard was the Father Saw You when you were invisible when Pastor Steven said that I cried it reminded me that even when I felt unseen God saw me I got baptized at Elevation Church at Ballantyne campus I felt God's presence and I felt brand new i am now a co leader of an eGroup and loving every minute my relationship with Jesus is stronger than ever!

On Monday, May 12th, I received a meeting invite and immediately knew it meant I was being laid off. Even though it shook me, I trusted that God was still in control. That same day, before the layoff was even official, a recruiter reached out to me on LinkedIn. We spoke that evening, and she scheduled an interview for Wednesday with the hiring manager. Two weeks later, I interviewed with the VP, and the very next day I received a job offer. In total, I was out of work for only two weeks. I know this was nothing but God’s covering and favor. Because I’ve been faithful in paying my tithes and year-end offering, He opened doors for me that I could not have opened myself. Before one door closed, He was already preparing the next. To God be the glory.

In 2002, during my final year of high school, my life changed. My high-school sweetheart of 5 years passed away in a sudden, tragic, and unexplainable incident. At that age, you think life is promised, & tomorrow is guaranteed. Looking I know without question that God had His hand on me that night. He was protecting me. God could no longer be optional in my life — He was non-negotiable. But the moment you choose God, the battles often get harder. And they did. Every time I fought through one attack, another one came. I carried trauma of that loss into different relationships, seasons, and choices. It affected my identity, my responses, and even my marriage. There were times I knew I wasn’t healed, times I reacted from pain instead of wholeness, times I struggled & felt like I was fighting the same battles. But every downfall, every moment I spiraled — God kept me. He held me. Today,healthy, standing, alive, whole, married, and anchored in God — I know that it’s only by His grace.

Early into 2025, my mother caught multiple illnesses simultaneously. From a chronic condition of COPD, to pneumonia, as well as others which resulted in lung failure. She was in a coma, on a breathing machine for more than two weeks. In that time, it seemed as though the very air was too heavy every day; a few moments I was unsure if she would pull through. By the grace and power of God, she eventually woke up and made a full recovery. Nine months later, He has allowed not only for our health and strength to prevail, but also provided superfluous provisions from that experience. As I reflect back to that time, I realize the Lord has been with me on every day I cried and every day I smiled. To pull the worst kind of situation, turn it around and make it a blessing I never could have imagined. His power is unfathomable.

I was raised to never miss Sunday church, but as I grew older, I drifted from God. In 2021, during a season of heartbreak after separating from my husband, Victor and suffering multiple miscarriages, I found Pastor Steven Furtick’s messages and began seeking God. Victor and I reconciled in 2022, and God began working in both of us. After my fourth miscarriage, I hit a low point, but in 2024 Victor was baptized, and in April 2025 I chose baptism too. Days later I learned I was pregnant again, but it wasn’t viable. That loss led to emergency surgery, rising HCG levels, a cancer scare, a sixth D&C, and over 20 rounds of chemo. Through it all, I stayed faithful. God provided—Victor and I married in 2025, and his job now covers IVF. Looking back, I see God’s timing in every moment. My story is proof that He is faithful, and I trust He will make me a mother in His time.

I’ve carried a lot of religious trauma throughout my life, and lately everything has felt overwhelming. One night, around two or three in the morning, I woke up with my heart heavy, my mind crowded, and my life feeling chaotic. In that moment, I whispered, “If I’m meant to be on this path, please show me. I don’t know what to do anymore.”As I drifted back to sleep, I heard a familiar voice my grandfather’s. Though he’s been gone for years, his voice came through clearly and gently: “You have finally found your way back to your foundation.” Those words settled into me in a way I can’t fully explain. So I started small. I watched one of your online services, which became two, then three, and then many more. I’ve been participating online for over a month now, and for the first time in a long time, I feel grounded. I finally felt comfortable enough to share this journey with a few people in my life, and it’s been healing in ways I never expected such peace in my soul.
