In this episode, we dive into the messy, often contradictory experience of church life—what it means to attend, to embody faith, and to find yourself in conflict with the very institution meant to nurture your spirit. From the beauty of community to the wounds left by religious dogma, we explore what happens when the place that once felt like home starts to feel like a battleground. Is it possible to reconcile faith with frustration? Are you a Christian or a moralist? Can you still “be the church” when the church no longer feels like yours? Let’s unpack the tension, the heartbreak, and the hope of a complicated spiritual journey.
