God Was Too Hard- TRB#16- Tamara Farmer
Manage episode 485662586 series 3642289
At just fifteen years old, Tamara Mazon-Farmer had her world shattered when someone she deeply admired in church delivered a crushing prophecy: she would never marry, never have children, never know that kind of love. This devastating message—which she now recognizes as a false word—became an identity she "put on like a jacket" every morning, eventually driving her away from faith entirely.
In this raw and vulnerable conversation, Tamara courageously traces her journey from devoted church girl to a life consumed by addiction and darkness. After walking away from Bible college, she plunged into years of alcohol abuse, married an atheist, and faced increasingly dangerous situations—including a chilling supernatural encounter that forced her to call on the very God she thought she'd abandoned.
