About this ebook
Becoming a Christian is a transformative experience, meant to give you a new purpose in life as you grow in faith. But what happens when that faith becomes your crutch? Rebranded by Faith is an honest look at what can happen when old hurts get in the way of serving the Lord. As Healer, Jesus encourages all believers to bring their pain to Him, in exchange for renewal. But sometimes our wounds run too deep, and instead of working through the pain, the past is ignored to focus only on how faith feels in the moment. Then, when trials occur, the old trigger points are activated, resulting in a setback in faith. And so the cycle continues until we make a change.
Natasha shares her battle with pain and what it took in her Christian experience to become Rebranded by Faith.
By facing your pain, you will learn how to:
Love yourself and others
Overcome obstacles in your faith
Break the cycle of pain
Depend more fully on Christ

INTRODUCTION: GOD IN ALL
The purpose of this book is to help as many hurting people as I can break their cycle of pain and walk in a newness of life in Christ. No matter your struggle, the Lord is there for YOU. Nothing is too great or difficult for Him to accomplish.
To make the most out of your reading, take a moment after each section to reflect and pray on where the Spirit leads. It’s never too late to be rebranded by faith!
May the Lord bless and keep you by His side.
Blessings,
-Natasha

CHAPTER 1: Love Who You Are
Are you hurting right now because of someone you love or have loved? Has it interfered with your faith or made you think less of yourself?
My husband once remarked that in our dating years, I always appeared to be searching for something. At first, I took that as a compliment, and attributed it to my spiritual walk and told him so. I was seeking Jesus,
I said. Wasn’t that the definition of a follower of Christ – to seek? But when I reflected on our conversation in penning this book, I realized my attitude back then had been all wrong, and I was lost, when I thought I’d been enlightened. And no wonder! I wasn’t addressing my pain or its source, all those years ago. Instead, I was ignoring it to focus on following Jesus with a self-seeking heart.
