In this deeply personal episode, we’re sharing our journey back to church after more than a decade away. From growing up in the faith and attending a Christian college, to feeling completely disillusioned by disconnected preaching, religious shame, and a string of churches that never quite felt like home—this episode is our honest reflection on what it means to seek, wrestle with, and ultimately return to a spiritual community.
After years of moving, searching, and feeling spiritually untethered, we finally visited a church that reminded us of everything we loved (and missed) about being part of a faith-filled space. For the first time in a long time, we felt grounded, inspired, and connected to the message.
If you’ve ever felt burned out by religion or unsure where you belong spiritually, this episode is for you. We’re talking about compassion, humanity, and the courage to keep searching until something resonates. Because sometimes, you have to kiss a few frogs to find your church home.
