Maya Angelou said, “There is no greater agony than bearing an untold story inside you.” When things start to get shifty in your faith life, it can feel overwhelming and difficult to talk about, even with those closest to you.
I just listened to this episode. I will never get over how it feels to hear so many women share experiences that mirror my own. My participation in church at this point is largely possible due to this podcast and community, because it has validated my need to stay in this space, while questioning and voicing what I need, what I won’t stand for, what I see and must unpack. I’m searching for the courage to share the book and podcast with my husband, so that he can more fully understand me. (And I think it was a recent episode where you describe that courage often feels like fear? Wow!)
