Number 1: #275 Kira: The Denim Skirt Scorecard Finally Failed
We sit down with Kira as she tells the long, winding road from church kid to skeptic to strict religion and finally to real rest in Jesus. Her story is raw, surprising, and full of moments where God keeps showing up when she cannot hold herself together. • growing up in a stable home while feeling socially “off” and trying to fix herself through effort • drifting from childhood faith into atheism, purpose seeking, and an identity built on achievement • a relationship collapse, depression, and a late-night prayer that shifts everything • getting pulled into fear-based religion and harmful control that looks like devotion • wandering alone, small mercies, and reminders that God protects even in confusion • years of Adventist legalism and the inability to feel truly safe with God • marriage strain, shame cycles, and the limits of behavior-based righteousness • hearing testimonies that spark hope and the gospel “clicking” through the Adam One and Adam Two lens • Sabbath as rest rather than a transaction and blessing as something already given in Christ • learning to speak life to her younger self and to anyone still trapped in performance 💰 DONATE & SUPPORT our Ministry: lovereality.org/give 👍 LIKE us on Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/alovereality 📷 FOLLOW us on Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/riyoung31/ 📚 LEARN more at our site: lovereality.org Join us for the best gathering on the internet, Internet Church.

Number 2: #274: Savannah Carlson, Gospel Over Guilt
We sit down with Savannah to trace how fear, secrecy, and image-management in church culture fed a long cycle of shame and sexual sin, even while she tried hard to be a “good Christian.” A breakthrough in Hebrews 9 reframes everything, moving her from dead works to a confident identity in Christ that actually empowers lasting change. • growing up in a Christian home where weakness feels unsafe • chasing affirmation and confusing performance with closeness to God • a youth leadership “contract” that teaches secrecy over confession • the weekly cycle of temptation, crossing lines, guilt, and condemnation • how shame spreads through family and friend reactions • Hebrews 9 and “dead works” as the turning point • learning righteousness, forgiveness, and freedom through Jesus as High Priest • Romans 6 and renewing the mind as a daily practice • redefining humility as receiving what God already gave • helping others through coaching that targets limiting beliefs and gospel truth 💰 DONATE & SUPPORT our Ministry: lovereality.org/give 👍 LIKE us on Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/alovereality 📷 FOLLOW us on Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/riyoung31/ 📚 LEARN more at our site: lovereality.org Join us for the best gathering on the internet, Internet Church.

Number 3: #273: Crista Few, Grace That Outlives Grief
We sit down with Crista Few as she grieves her mom’s death and explains why the resurrection of Jesus gives her peace even when she doesn’t have every answer. We talk through Adventist culture, church politics, and legalism, then come back to the simple center: the gospel is what Jesus has already done to reconcile us to God. • her mom’s oral cancer, hospice decision, and the “God moments” in the final days • the difference between beliefs and facts, especially around death and hope • why “being right” can quietly replace a relationship with Jesus • identity in Christ as a stabilizer through grief and change • experiencing church politics for the first time and how it reshapes trust • baptism vows, fear-based faith, and the pressure to perform • coffee controversy and how small issues reveal big control patterns • discovering Death to Life and rethinking what the gospel actually is • seeing the temple as a picture of Jesus rather than a checklist • assurance that salvation is secure because Jesus finished the work • readiness for the Second Coming without panic or superstition 💰 DONATE & SUPPORT our Ministry: lovereality.org/give 👍 LIKE us on Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/alovereality 📷 FOLLOW us on Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/riyoung31/ 📚 LEARN more at our site: lovereality.org Join us for the best gathering on the internet, Internet Church.

Number 4: #272 Jessica: What If The Gospel Sounds Like Being Wanted
Some stories don’t start with rebellion. They start with devotion that slowly turns into a cage. We talk with Jessica from the Pacific Northwest about growing up around faith after God rescued her family, then spending years trying to “do it right” with relentless zeal. The deeper she went into religious performance, the more her inner world fell apart: suicidal thoughts, constant mental warfare, and a view of God that felt like tolerance instead of love. A painful relationship and deep shame only tightened the loop, until a moment overseas in Guam exposed what she couldn’t see yet: she believed she could only approach Jesus with fear, not with closeness. From there, Jessica walks us through stepping away from the systems that formed her, rebuilding her faith through Scripture, and wrestling with the question that many Christians avoid: what if the gospel really means freedom, not just forgiveness? She shares a seven-year stretch of severe physical breakdown, panic attacks, and loss that forced everything to the surface, and the turning point where God challenged her to “tame it”, not through willpower, but through renewing the mind and replacing lies with truth. We connect the dots between identity in Christ, nervous system overwhelm, religious trauma, and the healing that can follow when you finally see God as a Father who smiles over you. If you’ve ever felt trapped by shame, terrified you’ll never be “enough,” or exhausted from carrying the weight of the world, this conversation is for you.

Number 5: #256 Samuel Depaula: A Sincere Kid, A Heavy Burden, And The Gospel That Breaks Chains
We trace Samuel’s journey from legalistic zeal and secret shame to a settled identity in Christ that produces real freedom and lasting change. A candid friend, a simple rule—believe God’s word over your life—and honest confession turn burden into peace. • growing up Adventist with sincere devotion and heavy performance pressure • school trauma, social isolation, and low self‑esteem shaping a rule‑first faith • leadership wins that hid a double life and deepening addiction • Brazil ministry, long prayers, and burnout exposing legalism • a friend’s hard truth becoming the turning point • hearing identity‑first gospel and letting the burden fall • moving from condemnation to confidence and steady transformation • confession in community replacing secrecy with light • practical freedom: thoughts challenged, shame silenced, habits changed 💰 DONATE & SUPPORT our Ministry: lovereality.org/give 👍 LIKE us on Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/alovereality 📷 FOLLOW us on Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/riyoung31/ 📚 LEARN more at our site: lovereality.org Join us for the best gathering on the internet, Internet Church.
