In this deeply moving episode of Heiresses of the King, host Beatriz Torres welcomes Macy Cortes, who courageously shares her journey from shame and abuse to freedom and hope in God.

Macy opens her heart about seasons of rebellion, running away, and carrying the heavy weight of guilt and brokenness. But in the midst of her pain, she encountered the unwavering love of God—the kind that restores what shame tried to destroy.

Through surrender and forgiveness, Macy found not only healing but a renewed sense of purpose. Her story is a testimony that no matter how far we’ve gone or how deep the wounds, God still trades ashes for beauty, bondage for freedom, and despair for hope.

If you’ve ever wondered whether God can redeem your story—this episode will remind you that He already is.
