Today we’d like to introduce you to Tonya Hutchings
Hi Tonya, we’re thrilled to have a chance to learn your story today. So, before we get into specifics, maybe you can briefly walk us through how you got to where you are today?
Follow me on a journey of hope and healing. As a young child, I was brutally molested. This began a tragic chain of events from a broken self-image to broken relationships. My quest to be normal, amid all the pain and brokenness, took me down a path to dark places. I was blindly led through the pain of shame and guilt, rejection and unforgiveness; and ultimately into the arms of truth and love.
It’s a story of truth and hope! I now try to give insight into how I found strength, hope, and healing and I share it with you. Just as I have, you too can go from pain to purpose.
Would you say it’s been a smooth road, and if not what are some of the biggest challenges you’ve faced along the way?
I have lived many years being abused, abandoned, and rejected. I have been in many abuse and violent relationships but through my faith in Jesus, I have overcome!
Alright, so let’s switch gears a bit and talk business. What should we know about your work?
Affectionately known as “Pastor T”, Tonya M. Hutchings is a new breed of disciple. She is Senior Pastor at SALT Community Worship Center in Atlanta, GA. Also an author, teacher, psalmist, conference speaker and mentor; she is called to deliver the word of God with love, truth, boldness and simplicity. She brings wisdom, enthusiasm and a fresh anointing as she ministers to the hearts and minds of God’s people. Her passion is to teach, love and uplift the people of God in all age groups, nationalities and walks of life.
Experiencing a myriad of religions, beliefs and difficulties as a youth, her entire life shifted after having a true encounter with the power, love and presence of God. This encounter exposed religious strongholds in her life and began a journey into a truly refreshing, empowering, supernatural life in Christ.
Her heart’s desire is to help renew and enlighten God’s people and shape the minds of today’s youth through song and ministry. She also assists others through life’s struggles as an anointed counselor. Tonya takes pleasure in seeing the manifested evidence of revelation, transformation and victory in the lives of people across the nation. She believes that the revelation of truth is the beginning of healing.
Do you any memories from childhood that you can share with us?
My favorite childhood memory was of me standing on the balcony watching my Father run down the street coming to rescue me (so I thought) after being molested all summer.
