Hi, I am Carrie, and I host the Lost Sheep Found podcast. This is my story. Well, Part 1 of my story. I want to share how I became a Lost Sheep Found, and honestly, I have to go back to the beginning.

In this episode of Lost Sheep Found, with the help of my co-host, Brandy, I invite you into the intimate chapters of my life. We'll navigate the corridors of faith, starting from my early years in a Christian school, journeying through the highs of devotion, and eventually facing the daunting lows of straying away.

I am brutally honest about the moments when the structured environment of Christian schooling gave way to the allure of a world filled with real-life complexities. This is a story of choices, consequences, and the evolution of my beliefs.
