Today, I sit down with Aleksa from Ukraine as she shares her powerful story of fleeing war, rebuilding her life across three countries, and ultimately finding healing, purpose, and peace in the United States.
After escaping a full-scale invasion in 2022, Aleksa packed only what she could carry, left behind her business and home, and began a journey of survival that led her through Italy and Romania before arriving in the U.S. Her firsthand experience sheds light on the trauma, resilience, and unexpected blessings that come with displacement.
Aleksa opens up about the emotional and spiritual trials she faced—how her Christian faith was shaken, how therapy and community helped her heal, and how she learned that God does not teach us through pain, but walks with us through it. She discusses her miraculous journey of writing a book filled with prophetic visions and conversations with God, which was later published here in the States. Her book isn't just a story—it's an invitation to anyone questioning their faith to reconnect with God on a deeper, more intimate level.
We also explore what it's like being a refugee in America, the value of Christian support networks, and why Aleksa believes in rebuilding her life without waiting for the war to end. Her story is a moving testament to courage, divine timing, and the power of taking the first step—even when the path is unknown. This episode is not only a tale of survival but a message of purpose, transformation, and spiritual freedom.
