Candid Conversation. Religion and more. Hard Questions. Real Talk. Honest exploration.
I was raised in the secretive 2x2 church and then in the ministry of that church for 25 years before a huge scandal in March 2023 led to an ongoing FBI investigation. This podcast is born from those experiences and focuses on organic, real, candid conversations to help process, deconstruct, heal, learn, grow and, ultimately find the true love, joy and peace in the Gospel of Jesus Christ. Let Love Lead is my motto.
