What's in a Name? A Story of Faith, Identity, and Finding Your Worth with Tina Eliana

What if something as simple as a missing last name could tell the story of a lifetime?

When Tina Eliana received a Bible for Christmas in 1985, her mother had chosen to engrave only her first and middle names on the cover. At the time, it seemed like a small decision. But for a little girl who had grown up without knowing her biological father, that blank space came to represent something much bigger.

In this episode of The Story Stand, Tina shares the deeply personal journey behind her name, her faith, and the realization that her identity was never defined by the people who walked away or the titles others placed upon her.

Tina is an author, speaker, podcast host, and founder of Tina Presents. Despite her many accomplishments and credentials, she believes that leadership doesn't require a title and that who we are matters far more than what we're called.

Through a story that spans decades, Tina reminds us that our past doesn't have to determine our worth, that faith can carry us through difficult seasons, and that sometimes the smallest details hold the greatest meaning.

Because sometimes the most important part of our story isn't the name we're given, but the person we become.
