Show Notes
Hilda spent her childhood chasing healing, from hospitals to witchdoctors, desperate to escape the fate she feared most: a wheelchair. She thought she was cursed, abandoned by God. But in her brokenness, she discovered God’s love and a reason to be grateful for the very thing she once dreaded.
Welcome to The Story Partners Podcast - a show featuring stories of transformation told by the people who lived them. It is our hope that as you listen, you are fully immersed into the world of the storyteller. This isn’t a back-forth interview format, instead it’s an uninterrupted and authentic storytelling experience. This is a unique format for a podcast, but we really love it - and we hope you do too!
We met Hilda through a mutual friend, and she is such a delight. The day we met her she was wearing a bright yellow shirt and her face was glowing. She had this huge, beautiful smile and just radiated joy. As you listen to her story, keep this picture of her in your mind.
Hilda’s journey has not been an easy one, and it is far from over. Yet, through all the difficulty and uncertainties in her life, the Lord has given her incredible peace and joy. Getting the honor to meet Hilda personally made a huge impact on us, and we are so excited to get to share this story with you today.
This is Hilda Bih Muluh in Season 4 | Episode 10, called: Thank you, Lord, for the Wheelchair.
