S1:EP8 Rebecca’s Testimony Part 3: The Pit


Listen Later

Welcome to Moms With A Call, a space where nothing is too messy for grace. In this raw and courageous episode, Rebecca shares Part 3 of her testimony—a chapter she calls “The Pit,” a season marked by anxiety, spiritual numbness, and a desperate search for relief.

Together, McKenzie and Rebecca talk about what it feels like to spiral, when freedom turns into disconnection, when panic attacks steal your breath, and when religion feels more like a weight than a refuge. Rebecca speaks honestly about turning away from spiritual guidance, navigating therapy and medication, and the slow, painful unraveling of who she thought she was.

This is not a story of resolution—it’s a story of being in the thick of it. And it’s for anyone who has ever whispered, “Where is God in this?”

We talk about:

  • The emotional and physical toll of anxiety
  • What happens when we reject the version of God we were given
  • Shame, self-protection, and spiritual detachment
  • The fears and freedom found in therapy and medication
  • How parents show up in our most fragile moments
  • You are not alone in the pit. There is a God who sees in the dark, and this episode is a sacred reminder of that.
