Growing with God: My Journey Back to God After Grief and Anger
In this episode of the Be Rare Podcast, Raven opens up about what it truly means to grow with God—even when the relationship doesn’t start out pretty or perfect.
She shares the raw, emotional story of how she went from feeling distant and even angry with God, to building a real and authentic relationship rooted in honesty, grace, and transformation. After losing her grandmother—her spiritual rock—Raven found herself questioning everything. But through pain, she discovered a deeper connection with God by showing up just as she was: hurt, confused, and real.
This episode will challenge your perspective on what a relationship with God is supposed to look like and encourages you to stop trying to be “perfect” for God. Instead, come as you are—and grow from there.
What You’ll Hear in This Episode:
How Raven's church trauma and early experience with religion shaped her initial views of God
The breaking point that brought her to God in total honesty
Why your relationship with God doesn’t need to look like anyone else's
How to identify and build your own sacred connection—whether through prayer, journaling, walking, or just being honest
The importance of holding onto testimonies and the evidence of God’s work in your life
A powerful closing prayer for believers, skeptics, and anyone in between
Key Takeaways:
You don’t need a blueprint to build a relationship with God
Your relationship with Him can start in pain and still lead to peace
Let go of religious performance and focus on personal connection
God accepts you as you are, not as you pretend to be
Keep track of what He’s already brought you through—it will sustain you during the next storm
Challenge for Listeners:
Reflect on how you connect best with God. Is it through prayer? Journaling? Walking in nature? This week, explore what grounds your relationship with Him—and do it consistently. Then write down a testimony. Track the shift. See what changes.
