In this episode of Dear God, Unscripted, JB and Kiara look back on how their faith has grown—from little kids in church trying to make sense of it all, to grown folks still figuring it out. They swap stories about how they used to see God, what church was like growing up, and how things hit different now. It’s honest, funny, and full of those “dang, that’s real” moments. At the heart of it all, it’s about love—God’s love.
