Show Notes
Ever lie awake at 2 AM wondering if God's even there? Or have questions you're too scared to say out loud—even to yourself?
I've been there. Twice.
In this episode, I'm sharing the two seasons I almost walked away from my faith completely. One was intellectual—I couldn't make the pieces fit anymore. The other was heartbreak so crushing I thought God was being cruel.
I'll tell you what those years actually looked like, what kept me from walking away, and why wrestling with God doesn't mean your faith is broken.
Sometimes it means it's finally getting honest.
If you're in the dark right now—or you have been—this one's for you. Stay with me.
