Apparently, I can talk about faith—but keeping track of episode numbers is another story! This is Episode 9, even though you’ll hear me call it Episode 8 in the recording.
Have you ever prayed, “Please don’t let them find out”?
I have. There was a time when fear of judgment and rejection shaped my prayers more than trust in God’s love. I was asking to stay hidden when I needed help finding a way to live honestly.
In this episode of Light Heals, I share how religious shame followed me into my marriage, my grief, and my understanding of God. I explore what happens when other people’s rules become tangled up with faith—and we mistake the voice of shame for the voice of God.
If you’ve hidden parts of yourself to keep your place in a church, or wondered whether your pain was God’s punishment, this conversation is for you.
Healing doesn’t require telling everyone everything today. It can begin with one honest prayer, one trustworthy person, and the possibility that you deserve love before you have everything figured out.
Thank you for watching, listening, and making room for these honest conversations. If this episode speaks to you, please share it with someone who might need it.
Darkness may be part of the journey, but it doesn’t have to be the destination. Light Heals.
