In this powerful conversation, I sit down with Lenee’ Pezzano, also known as The Redeemed Perfectionist, to unpack what it truly means to walk in the grace of God.So many believers find themselves stuck in a cycle of striving—trying to earn God’s approval through performance, rules, and religious expectations. But that was never the heart of the Gospel.Together, we dive deep into the tension between grace and legalism, exploring how performance-based faith can quietly steal our joy, our peace, and our intimacy with God.Lenee’ shares her heart and her mission to help people—especially women—break free from perfectionism, release the pressure to “get it all right,” and step into the freedom and fullness that God has already made available through His grace.This conversation will challenge you to shift from striving to surrender… from pressure to peace… and from performance to true relationship with God.If you’ve ever felt like you’re not doing enough, not measuring up, or constantly trying to earn what’s already been given—this episode is for you.Connect with Lenee' Pezzanohttps://leneepezzano.com/https://www.facebook.com/leneepezzanohttps://www.instagram.com/leneepezzano

In one of the most raw and transformative conversations we’ve had on the Audacious Faith Podcast, I sit down with Raquel Soto — a woman who survived four suicide attempts and now helps others rewire their minds for purpose.Raquel shares how, in her darkest moments, God intervened. Instead of giving up, she began asking deeper questions: Why was I thinking this way? What was happening in my brain? Why did it feel logical at the time? That search led her into neuroscience, brain science, and a deeper exploration of how our thoughts shape our reality — all grounded in powerful biblical truth.Today, Raquel teaches people how to renew their minds, step fully into their calling, and move from survival mode into 10X — even 100X — purposeful living. We talk about mental health, spiritual warfare, identity, what’s happening to our kids today, and how so much of what’s robbing us of clarity and strength is subtle, systemic, and spiritual.This is not just an interview.It’s a wake-up call.And it may be the conversation someone you love desperately needs to hear.Don’t miss this one.
