Christmas Special with Aarti Sequiera

CandyRock
About this episode

Do you recognize the voice and the presence of Jesus in your life? Do you connect with Him in the mundane moments of your day? 

Candace is joined by Aarti Sequiera in today’s conversation to talk about her journey from being born in India, raised in Dubai, and moving to the USA. But more so, she shares her beautiful testimony of coming into a relationship with Jesus. 

“You can tell someone’s faith by what they ate.” At least in India + Dubai! Being raised around different religions, Aarti’s faith has evolved over the years – she once viewed God as a statue on the wall and a far-off father figure. Now, she understands and walks in a loving, grace-filled relationship with Him. 

Aarti is a former journalist turned movie co-producer (alongside George Clooney … what?!), and is now the author of 2 incredible cookbooks. Her story is powerful! And her hope is to encourage you to embrace your testimony – no matter how small it may seem to you, it is significant.
