In this powerful episode of the Room to Bloom Podcast, Dr. Gladys Childs — widely known as “The Truth Doctor” — opens up about her journey of overcoming childhood trauma, growing up with an alcoholic mother she describes as a “mean drunk,” and navigating the deep intersection of faith and pain.

Dr. Childs talks about how leaning on supportive people, changing negative thought patterns, and learning new ways to look at life can help you heal. She dives into the impact of shame and identity struggles, reminding us that “faith does not shield us from pain” but can guide us toward resilience, hope, and renewal.

This episode also highlights Dr. Childs’ new TV show, Bare Faith, which explores the raw and complex relationship between faith, emotional health, and personal transformation. She also discusses her upcoming talk on "Holy & Hurting: When Faith Doesn't Fix Our Pain" at the upcoming She Arises Christian Women's Conference.
