After years of performing in church spaces that left her burned out and spiritually wounded, Trae Bohlen made the bold choice to tear it all down — every assumption, every performance, every piece of borrowed belief.

In this episode, Trae shares what it looked like to deconstruct her faith not to walk away, but to rebuild it on the true foundation of the Gospel and the character of God. She talks about what hurt, what healed, and what freedom really feels like on the other side. If you’ve ever been wounded by religion but still long for Jesus — this conversation will meet you in the middle.

If you’re carrying a story or testimony and sense a quiet stirring to do something more with it, but you’re unsure what that next step should be, I’ve created a resource to help you discern that.

Candice Wilson has come through the trenches — raising five children, advocating for her autistic son, enduring physical assaults from him during crisis moments, and ultimately divorcing her husband so her son could receive life-saving out-of-home treatment. She’s also a caregiver to her cousin, a grandmother of four, and a mama still carrying the heartbreak of a daughter who no longer speaks to her.

In this episode, Candice bravely shares what it’s like to live inside a diagnosis most people misunderstand — and the toll it takes on a mother who refuses to give up. She speaks for every unseen, unheard, unthanked caregiver who’s doing the holy, hard work no one claps for. Her voice is steady. Her story is sacred. And her resilience is a testimony to the God who sees every sacrifice.
