Why are so many Black women walking away from the church—and where can healing begin?

In this heartfelt episode, Lisa Fields talks with Dr. Sarita Lyons—author, counselor, and director at Epiphany Fellowship—about her bestselling book Church Girl: A Gospel Vision to Encourage and Challenge Black Christian Women. From church hurt and unmet expectations to identity, calling, and new age deception—this conversation gets real about pain, healing, and rediscovering purpose in Christ. Dr. Lyons shares deep wisdom on how Black women can reclaim their identity in Christ, navigate spiritual fatigue, and find healing in community.

Whether you’ve stayed faithful, walked away, or are wrestling with your faith—amidst feeling unseen, disillusioned, or distant from your faith—this conversation is for you.
