Bria Isaac grew up in a minister's house. Her father knew the Bible front and back, and her earliest memory of God is a children's movie about Jesus told with little clay figures. She also describes a childhood marked by fear: a night she says she woke to angels standing around her bed, a dark presence she felt outside her bedroom door, and, in her telling, years of abuse at home that her parents later said never happened. By 22 she had flunked out of college, lost her job and was facing eviction. She shares that she turned to prostitution, and that one night, sitting on the floor with $300, she spoke to God for the first time: “if you get me out of this, like, I will never do this again.” Then came seven years of acting like nothing had happened. Her mother, she recalls, told her never to tell anybody, not even a future husband. One morning when she was 29, Bria says she woke up and heard a voice say, “your life is a lie.” She washed her face, brushed her teeth and tried to ignore it. It kept coming back.

In this conversation Bria walks through the whole road: growing up in church without feeling safe at home, leaving and refusing to go back, the years she kept everything buried, and the mornings she describes beginning to hear from God and learning to test what she was hearing. She talks about hearing God's voice and the Holy Spirit, about forgiving your parents after childhood abuse, about inner healing and deliverance, and about trusting God for provision when the rent is due and the numbers do not add up. These are her experiences as she tells them, in her own words.

Bria shares in the episode that she now serves in inner healing, deliverance and mentorship.
