In this episode of Faith Conversations, host Jessica Cabrera interviews Deborah White about growing up without a Christian foundation, wrestling with performance-based faith, and discovering the life-changing truth that God’s love cannot be earned.
After losing her father at age ten, Deborah struggled with grief and identity. Though she attended church and repeatedly rededicated her life, she believed she had to perform to earn Christ’s love. It took years for her to truly understand that Jesus could not love her any more than He already did.
During a difficult season in her marriage, a pastor reminded her that even if her marriage fell apart, God would never abandon her. Through community and faith, God restored her marriage and deepened her trust in Him.
In the summer of 2021, while interviewing vulnerable children, Deborah cried out to God for Him to act. God responded by calling her to be the answer. This led her to advocate for children on Capitol Hill and witness miracles that reminded her we serve a limitless God.
Deborah’s story encourages listeners not to give up — because God redeems pain and shows His power through our weakness.
Read the Gospel of John
If you have never made the choice to accept Jesus’ offer—a gift, not by works—to be restored to the original design for your life, which is a relationship with God (on earth and in heaven after physical death), now is the time.
There is an article in Jessica’s Engage Faith column that will help you understand who He is, who you are, what choice you have, and what happens when you make the decision.

All listeners are encouraged to engage in a local church community to learn more about Jesus, the Bible, and to experience God through community. Listeners from the Northern Virginia area are welcomed at Burke Community Church, and anyone seeking an online church service can find one there as well.
We are not designed to be alone—we’re designed for a community of faith.
