What happens when you leave behind the only faith you’ve ever known? In this powerful episode, we sit down with Brandi Bronson who shares her story of walking away from Mormonism and discovering the real Jesus on the other side. This conversation is raw, honest, and full of grace for those deconstructing, wrestling, or simply trying to understand the difference between religion and relationship. Together, we talk about Brandi’s new book, freedom, fear, and the unexpected beauty of encountering Christ after the structures fall. Whether you’re recovering from legalism, questioning your background, or just searching for something more real, this episode is a powerful reminder that Jesus isn’t afraid of your questions. He’s not confined to a building or a system. He meets us where we are.

And as always, we start off the episode with what is bringing us joy and we know you will be so encouraged by this conversation. Listen free on Apple or Spotify, and join us on Patreon for exclusive content!
