    EP. 12 | From Trauma to Triumph with Missy Maxwell Worton: How Writing Your True Story Brings Healing, Identity, and Freedom While Unlocking Faith, Purpose, and Transformation for Others


    What happens when you say “yes” to sharing your true story? In this episode of Witness the Wonder, host Christina Smith welcomes back award-winning author, speaker, and publisher Missy Maxwell Worton to share how writing your story can unlock healing, freedom, and identity—not just for you, but for others who read it.


    Missy opens up about her journey from writing Don’t Mess With This Mama to launching Warrior Writers and Light Warrior Publishing, where she helps authors turn their testimonies into powerful books that impact lives. Together, we explore:


    • Why healed authors write healed books—and how that brings freedom to readers

    • The connection between storytelling, faith, and neuroscience

    • How to recognize God’s presence in your story—even in the darkest chapters

    • Why writing your true story is the first step toward stepping into your calling

    • How God can use your “yes” to impact lives far beyond your own


    Whether you feel called to write a book or simply want to understand the power of storytelling in your own life, this conversation will inspire you to see your story as a gift.

    Adoption to Rescue Mission: Missy Maxwell Worton’s True Story of Faith and CourageWhen Missy Maxwell Worton traveled to Ethiopia to finalize the adoption of her daughter, Favor, she expected a short embassy appointment and a joyful trip home. Instead, she and her husband, Mark, found themselves in a dangerous, high-stakes rescue mission that would test their faith, endurance, and courage at every turn.This episode of Witness the Wonder tells the powerful, true story behind Missy’s award-winning book Don’t Mess With This Mama. It is a testimony of God’s miraculous protection, the power of unity in marriage, and the choice to reject fear in favor of love, even in life-threatening situations.In This Episode:How an adoption trip turned into a fight for a child’s lifeThe powerful and dangerous man determined to stop Favor from leaving EthiopiaLosing travel documents and being forced into hiding in a region surrounded by radical extremismThe role of forgiveness and unity in winning spiritual battlesMiraculous moments of divine intervention and angelic protectionThe Scriptures and prophetic words that gave them strengthThe victory that brought Favor home — and how God used it to free other children tooMissy shares how she and Mark faced corrupt officials, survived attempted kidnappings, navigated a court battle in a foreign country, and witnessed wonders that could only be explained by God’s direct hand. Her story reminds us that God’s plans are bigger than our own and that choosing love over fear opens the door to breakthrough.Key Quotes from Missy:“If you’re fighting against each other, then you’re not together, which God commands us to be one and work it out, so that we can step forward victoriously in what He has for us.”“God has won this victory and we’re getting home.”Why This Story Matters:This is more than an adoption story. It is a reminder that faith in action can change lives, protect the vulnerable, and even shift the course of history for others.

    Ep. 10 | Covered by Grace | How God Showed Up in Prison Cells…and her Ministry’s Bank Account | Angela Pedigo’s True Story | Part 2 | Supernatural Miracle Moments in Everyday Life
    Aug 6 2025

    Angie Pedigo found herself in a moment of desperation —funds running out and facing the possibility of having to put a For Sale sign on the very house that had become a haven for women in recovery. But what happened next? A divine dream. A bold fast. A miracle check. And a moment so specific, so personal, that only God could have written it.


    In Part 2 of our conversation, Angie shares powerful stories from her prison ministry, including spontaneous worship nights behind bars and a life-changing foot washing moment that brought healing and unity in the most unexpected way.


    You’ll hear how God showed up when it felt like everything was falling apart—and how He used it all to equip her (and others) for what came next.


    🙌 Whether you’ve faced burnout in ministry, financial pressure, or opposition while trying to obey God, this episode will reignite your faith and remind you: He sees you—and He’s not done yet.
