Danielle Poe // Testimony

I grew up in the church, and I don't think I ever really took it seriously. The old church I went to made me feel like I needed to be perfect to be baptized. So I always avoided it because I thought I wasn't good enough. I left the church when I graduated high school because I planned on partying in college. I thought I would return when I was ready to settle down with a family because then I would be worthy enough. I got further and further from God as the years went on. I drank heavily for a long time and started abusing drugs as well. I was digging myself deeper and deeper into a hole. I was in a dangerous relationship with a dangerous mindset and an even more dangerous addiction.

A Story of a Broken Girl

For me, I am not perfectly healed. I am not perfect. I am constantly failing. But I'm growing. I am learning what it means to trust your church. I am becoming open again. God is providing me with joy, a new community, a renewed hope in the world. All through my community at Cornerstone. And I hope you will open your heart to this same community that is waiting for you!
