Tanya’s Testimony
Saved and stuck. This is the term I used to describe the first years of my faith walk. Until God led me to Mountain Movers.
I grew up feeling like I was God’s biggest disappointment. Damaged goods. Hopeless to ever make it to the level of perfection that earned God’s love.
When God began showing me that this was because of bad doctrine, not His true character, I became determined to know this God who loved me when I couldn’t love myself.
But years passed, and I still struggled with the same old patterns… addiction to pornography, shame, and hopelessness that I would ever truly be free. My marriage was on a slow and steady path to destruction and after having 3 kids, our first being stillborn, God’s mercy met me in my basement on an evening in March of 2023.
I reached out to Mountain Movers, desperate for help. I knew God had more in store for my life, but the fruit was not there and I didn’t know where to begin. I laid aside all pride and opened up to Melissa, holding nothing back.
On one of my first calls with Melissa, it became clear that it was not God who was withholding freedom from me. Bad doctrine, a religious spirit, and a lack of truth had made it impossible for me to walk in what Christ had already paid for through His blood.
I drew a line in the sand that day and determined in my heart to seek God’s truth no matter the cost. Even when everything within felt like I was unworthy, unacceptable, unlovable, God’s Word would have the last say.
I slowly began renewing my mind, replacing the lies I believed about myself, God, and the world around me with God’s Word.
One of the biggest lies I’ve been delivered from is “quick-fix, instant perfection Christianity.” The idea that if I prayed the correct prayer, believed hard enough, or said the right words with enough faith, I’d be instantly transformed.
Through one-on-one mentorship with Melissa, we began unravelling the network of false doctrine through biblical truth. I discovered that freedom is truly a narrow gate and difficult way.
Through Mountain Movers, I’ve learned to forsake the self-pleasing, instant gratification, broad path of Christianity and give my whole heart to pursuing spiritual maturity through the simplicity of the gospel of Christ.
It’s been a challenging walk, with many slip-ups and falls, but with the encouragement and accountability of this ministry, I’ve been able to get back up every time and continue growing into the calling God has for me.
My marriage has been restored. We've been blessed with a baby girl who has marked a new season for our family after 11 years of marriage. I’ve been delivered from a false identity, shame, addiction, timidity, witchcraft, and shallow Christianity.
I’m honored and privileged to work alongside the team here at Mountain Movers to bless others as I have been blessed.
Through truth, sanctification, healing, deliverance, and purpose, God has used this ministry to help me grow, heal, and walk in the freedom Jesus paid for.
I’m no longer saved and stuck.
I’m saved and being sanctified.
