36. From Grave Clothes to Glory: A Testimony of God’s Delivering Power | Samia Young
In this powerful episode of The Word of Their Testimony Podcast, Samia shares a deeply moving journey. Growing up amid violence, abandonment, and instability on the south side of Chicago, her early years were marked by trauma that left deep emotional scars. Yet even in the darkest moments, God was quietly preparing the path that would one day lead her from brokenness to redemption.
At just 14 years old, after years of feeling unwanted and unseen, Samia encountered the gospel for the first time while living in an abusive home. That moment changed everything. Though her circumstances didn’t immediately improve, her newfound relationship with Jesus gave her the strength to endure, forgive, and hope. As she grew older, life brought new struggles—legal trouble, unhealthy relationships, and seasons of wandering far from the faith. But at 24, shattered and desperate on a jail cell floor, she cried out to God once more—and He began rebuilding her life from the inside out.
Today, Samia is an attorney, minister, author, and mentor whose story is captured in her book Samia Come Forth: Trading Grave Clothes for Purpose. In this episode, she vulnerably shares how God not only delivered her from trauma, poverty, and shame, but also led her through a deeper process of surrender—removing the “grave clothes” that once kept her bound. Her testimony is a powerful reminder that no life is too broken for God to redeem, and that true freedom comes when we fully yield our hearts to Him.
