Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Toxic Faith & Holy Hell: Being Exploited in the Church
Q: Can you share your religious trauma story and what led you to seek healing?
Steph describes being raised in a Baptist setting, feeling called to ministry at nineteen, and experiencing ongoing burnout as leadership demanded loyalty and unreciprocated investment in her Gifts. The turning point was recognizing that worth and identity had been tied to church expectations rather than intrinsic value and divine affirmation, which motivated her to set boundaries and pursue healing outside the toxic dynamic.
Praying But Still Bleeding: Healing Identity After Spiritual Warfare
Q: What should someone do if they feel abandoned by God during healing?
Lean into the Word, seek community, and immerse yourself in scripture and supportive relationships to find God's presence again.
Praying But Still Bleeding: Healing Identity After Spiritual Warfare
Q: How can someone begin to detach their identity from a painful history?
Understand that having a story is universal, detach from shame, and focus on healing and inspiring others through your journey.
Praying But Still Bleeding: Healing Identity After Spiritual Warfare
Q: What does healing look like in everyday life after such trauma?
Healing shows up as becoming a new person who acts with compassion and purpose, including serving the homeless and engaging in daily life-changing decisions, not hiding from pain but using it to reach others.
Unlearning the Lies: Healing from Church Hurt
Q: What practical steps helped you start healing and changing your relationship with God?
He describes applying God's love, truth, and wisdom in a practical way, using breathwork, journaling, and gradual, achievable goals to replace old patterns and rebuild identity outside harmful systems.
