077: Seeking Wholeness in Low Seasons with Justin McRoberts
What if your anxiety and depression aren't going away any time soon? Many have been taught that depression means you're broken, that sadness is a lack of faith, or that anxiety is a sign of weakness. This can feel hopeless, especially when the strongest prayers and medicine don't cure your condition.

073: Rediscovering Identity through Enneagram Virtues with Hunter Mobley
Has spiritual abuse caused you to feel like you've lost part of your identity? One of the most common things I hear from the spiritual abuse community is that they feel like they don't know who they are anymore. Without organized religion, a sense of community, and all of the structures that once held you up, it's easy to feel lost or inherently broken. However, on this episode, Hunter Mobley, Enneagram teacher and author of Letting Go, Finding You, shares ways that you can rediscover who you...

Have you ever felt like you are disobeying God or being rebellious when you think independently about your faith?
