Welcome to Called by Name! A weekly podcast hosted by me, Ava! I hope to encourage others to be the best version of themselves in Jesus. I'll be sharing things God is doing in my own life and lessons I've learned with hopes of encouraging you to dive deeper into the calling and the love Jesus has for you. My heart is to give you a safe place and welcome you into the life as a daughter (or son) of the most high king. Come and stay a while!

Dave Pelzer was brutally abused as a child by his emotionally unstable, alcoholic mother. She considered him a slave - no longer a boy, but an "it". He was physically and mentally tortured and starved. The outside world knew nothing of the nightmare he experienced behind closed doors, and his father was aware of the abuse but turned to denial and alcohol. The abuse only fueled a determination to survive and become stronger.
