n this transparent and inspiring conversation, Tiane Sutton (@_itstiane), author of God’s Baby Girl, shares her unexpected transformation from atheism to faith.
Raised without religion and shaped by the teachings of the Five Percent Nation, Tiane didn’t grow up seeking God. Her life was marked by silent struggles, childhood trauma, and a deep skepticism toward organized religion. But everything shifted at a business conference where she followed a friend to the altar and had a spiritual experience that changed her forever.
Tiane walks us through what it was like to leave her old beliefs behind, confront the pain she carried for years, and rebuild her identity through scripture, counseling, and honesty. She opens up about sexual abuse, father wounds, and why her journey with God didn't begin with perfection but with questions, confusion, and grace.
Her book, God’s Baby Girl, uses seven characters to represent parts of her own story. These women reflect the hidden battles many face but rarely talk about. Through them, Tiane invites readers into a conversation about healing, trust, and the God who meets us in the middle of our mess.
Questions explored in this episode include:
Why would someone turn to God after years of disbelief?
Does trauma lead people to religion or does faith offer something deeper?
What does it mean to glorify God with your life?
Why do some people still suffer after salvation?
Is God a man or something beyond gender?
Can you question your faith and still be faithful?
Whether you’ve walked away from church, been burned by religion, or are simply curious about what faith looks like beyond tradition, this conversation offers space to reflect, listen, and stay open.
