Esther Durin is a London based singer-songwriter who has worked with artists, including Burna Boy and Ayra Starr. She also appeared on BBC One's Little Mix The Search, making it to the finals as part of a girl group, which has since disbanded.

In this episode, Esther speaks vulnerably about her childhood, the impact of her father not being in the family home, troublesome teenage years and when she finally hit rock bottom.

After several years as a secular artist - facing many challenges along the way, Esther turned to God and committed to a healing journey, which has led to her transformation and bold decision to surrender her music to Jesus.

She is still on her healing journey, but she has peace like never before.
