Ethel was raised by her Israeli-Jewish father and Filippino-Catholic mother whose marriage fractured when Ethel was very young. From the mixed religious upbringing and efforts to please her family as well as God, Ethel developed an austere picture of God which made her afraid.

While living with her atheist father, she became further distanced from her spiritual connections. In her mid-teens, Ethel became frustrated and depressed, longing for Divine approval, love and relief from the inner pain.

Seeking fulfilment for her deepest needs of lasting peace, purpose and to quench the pain, Ethel eventually turned away from God embarking on an exploratory journey.

Tune in to find out what led her back from the brink to become a witness for God with a passion to help others!
