Tonya Reed: The Little Blue Bible That Changed Everything
Tonya Reed's childhood and teenage years were marked by trauma, instability, addiction, and choices that eventually led her to jail. But in the darkest season of her life, a Gideons International volunteer handed her a small blue Bible—and everything began to change. In this episode, Tonya shares her journey from early‑life pain to drug dealing, incarceration, and finally the slow, steady transformation that reshaped her future. Today she leads a thriving caregiving business and returns to the same jail to minister to women walking the road she once traveled. It's a story of how deep pain found redemption through God's word and grace.
