Looking for a faith that feels like home rather than a test you keep failing? We welcome author Tamara Woldridge to unpack her new guided study, Discover Your Amazing God, and the legacy of her late mother whose passion for the names of God shaped this work. What unfolds is a candid, warm journey from religious performance to covenant relationship—a shift that reframes how we see Scripture, ourselves, and a God who meets us in our mess.

Tamara shares the crossroads moment of choosing God amid her parents’ divorce, then helps dismantle the myths that keep so many of us at arm’s length: the fear of a punitive God, confusion about evil in a world of free will, and the ache some feel toward the word father. Through vivid, ancient images of covenant—like mixed salt that cannot be separated—she reveals a faithful God whose promises rest on His character, not our perfection. This lens ties the Old and New Testaments together and eases the tension between justice and mercy, showing a righteous judge who guards love rather than a tyrant hungry to punish.

We dive into the names of God—Elohim, Adonai, El Shaddai, El Roi, Yahweh, Shepherd, Shalom—and discover how each name opens a facet of God’s heart: Creator, Door to Life, All-Sufficient One, the God Who Sees, the One who guides and brings peace. For listeners carrying wounds from imperfect fathers, these names become stepping stones toward trust by looking at Jesus, who shows the Father perfectly. Along the way, Tamara speaks tenderly about grief and hope, holding fast to the God of the living and the identity we carry as sons and daughters in covenant, not commodities of culture.

Whether you’re a long-time churchgoer who craves more than rules, a new believer sick of striving, or a seeker drawn by curiosity, this conversation offers a steadying path. Come as you are, meet a God who is closer than your fear, and find your footing in a love that endures.
