Talasi Guerra is a Christian author and communicator who is passionate about infusing Jesus into her everyday life and empowering others to do the same.

Having travelled across the globe to bring a message of hope to children, students, and adults in all kinds of different settings, nothing excites Talasi more than watching a “light-bulb moment” happen. But it wasn't always that way.

But it wasn't always that way. For years, Talasi battled with anorexia and depression and ran as far away from God as she possibly could.

In 2017 she experienced a radical life change when God brought her through that period.

"I was around 21 years old. I just sat down and had a conversation with a friend that honestly changed my perspective and changed my life forever," says Talasi.

He began talking to Talasi about the Bible, something that Talasi had been running from for years. 

"I started to dig into what the Bible had to say again, and I decided to give God another chance in my life," Guerra explains.

"As a result of that, I actually surrendered and I actually, after years of trying to recover in different ways, I opened up and let God back in. And over the course of a few months, he really brought miraculous healing."

Since that time, Talasi has been committed to bringing light and life to the world around her by sharing her story, speaking truth, and offering hope to others. She lives to communicate biblical principles in relevant ways that inspire, challenge, and awaken others to live out their God-given purpose.

Today on Connections, Talasi shares a bit about her journey and how others can overcome the obstacles that are holding them back.
