What if everything you believed about God… wasn’t actually who He is?

In this episode of Out of Focus, Shannon Stewart sits down with her friend Jerry to share his powerful journey from religion to relationship—and how God met him in the middle of walking away, rebuilding his life, and rediscovering faith.

From growing up in a legalistic church to stepping away from God, navigating identity struggles, career shifts, and unexpected redemption, Jerry’s story is a reminder that God never wastes a season—and never gives up on His children.

This conversation explores:

• The difference between religion and relationship

• What grace looks like after wandering

• Why God doesn’t disqualify us—He restores us

• How God rewrites broken stories

• What it truly means to know God personally

This episode is honest, heartfelt, and full of hope for anyone who has ever wondered if God could still use them.

Scripture:

"The Lord is near to the brokenhearted and saves the crushed in spirit." — Psalm 34:18

If you feel lost, unsure, or disconnected, this episode is a reminder: God is still writing your story.
