The Living Story: A Podcast for Women Ready to Heal, Become, and Believe.
Rewrite the story you're telling yourself and discover the one God is writing.
The Living Story is a podcast for women who feel like something is missing in their healing, their identity, or the story they have been told about who they are.
Hosted by Tennille Martinez, a teacher, storyteller, and woman of faith.
Each episode weaves together scripture, personal reflection, and honest spiritual insight to explore the moments when life feels confusing, painful, or unfinished and how faith, even the smallest, most uncertain kind, can meet you right there.
Whether you are new to faith and still figuring out what you believe, or you have been walking with God for years and need a space to go deeper, there is a chapter here for you.
From healing after heartbreak to understanding your worth, trusting your purpose, and becoming the woman you were created to be, The Living Story is for any woman ready to stop surviving her story and start living it.
If you are searching for a podcast about faith, healing, identity, and becoming, welcome. The chapters you least understand are often the ones that change everything.
You don't just read stories. You are one.

S3 E6 | He Brought Me to the Door, But God Brought Me Inside

What if the people who walked you to the door can’t take you inside?
In this episode, I share how God used unexpected transitions, a new teaching job, a fresh heartbreak, and a church I didn’t choose to walk me through sacred thresholds of healing, identity, and surrender.
We explore the symbolism of thresholds through the lives of beloved literary heroines like Jane Eyre, Tita de la Garza, Elizabeth Bennet, Julieta Madrigal, and Esperanza Cordero, and how their quiet bravery mirrors our own spiritual decisions.
We also journey through Scripture to see how Ruth, Esther, Peter, the Woman at the Well, and the Prodigal Son all stepped through thresholds of faith that changed everything.
Whether you’re navigating heartbreak, transition, or a call to deeper obedience, this episode is your gentle reminder:
Some people bring you to the door, but only God brings you inside.
🔖 You’ll hear about:
- What thresholds symbolize in both story and Scripture
- How community, worship, and stillness helped heal hidden parts of me
- Why obedience opens doors logic never will
- The sacred invitation God offers in moments of transition
