2024 Senior Capstone Speech Winner – Nadia Owens

Nadia Owens

Nadia Owens delivers a powerful testimony about finding strength and hope through God’s word during life’s most difficult storms. Sharing her personal journey through her mother’s serious illness, Nadia explains how fear and uncertainty sometimes cause her to question her faith. But in the midst of that storm, she turned to Scripture and discovered the unshakable foundation it provides. Drawing from verses in Jeremiah, John, and Deuteronomy, she illustrates how God’s promises offer peace, comfort, and direction when everything else feels uncertain. 

Comparing the experience to walking blindfolded through darkness, Nadia explains that God’s voice and His word are the guiding light that can lead us forward, even when we feel lost. Her message reminds us all that storms will come—but when we stand on the truth of Scripture, we don’t have to face them alone.
