My toughest lesson was realizing that I was born with a wound that would become a scar, and that scar could become my greatest testimony because it pointed to Jesus' scars.
On this episode of The UPSide, we are joined by a woman whose life reflects a powerful truth…
A story marked by pain, perseverance, and profound healing—
a story that reminds us that no wound is wasted…
and no life is beyond redemption.
If you’ve ever wondered whether your pain has a purpose… this conversation is for you.
I sit down with author, speaker, and worship leader Camey Joy for a deeply moving and hope-filled conversation about healing, identity, and purpose.
Born in Guatemala with a severe cleft lip and palate, Camey faced overwhelming odds from the very beginning. After surviving against all expectations, she was adopted into a loving family and endured 23 grueling surgeries. But beyond the physical challenges were deeper emotional wounds—rejection, isolation, and the painful experience of feeling different.
In this episode, Camey shares the life-changing truth she discovered:
✨ No wound is wasted
✨ No story is beyond redemption
✨ Jesus is the Great Physician who heals the deepest places of the heart
When we invite God into our pain, our wounds can be transformed into testimonies of His healing and love.
Today, Camey is a wife, mother, worship leader, and speaker who ministers to others—including those in prison—bringing a message of hope, healing, and restoration.
If you’ve ever questioned whether your pain has purpose, this conversation will remind you:
God does His deepest work in our hardest places.
