After experiencing a childhood marked by abuse and pain, Courtney Craig spent years trying to fill a hole in her heart through her own efforts. Even after joining a church, she initially struggled with striving to earn God’s love through groups and Bible study, often feeling like she wasn't healed enough or good enough to be loved. Her life reached a turning point during a Freedom Weekend, where she finally released her guilt and shame, experiencing God’s direct love for the first time. This transformation shifted her perspective from obligation to a genuine desire to serve, leading her to become a life group leader and find peace in her identity as someone truly lovable.
