#275 Kira: The Denim Skirt Scorecard Finally Failed

We sit down with Kira as she tells the long, winding road from church kid to skeptic to strict religion and finally to real rest in Jesus. Her story is raw, surprising, and full of moments where God keeps showing up when she cannot hold herself together.• growing up in a stable home while feeling socially “off” and trying to fix herself through effort• drifting from childhood faith into atheism, purpose seeking, and an identity built on achievement• a relationship collapse, depression, and a late-night prayer that shifts everything• getting pulled into fear-based religion and harmful control that looks like devotion• wandering alone, small mercies, and reminders that God protects even in confusion• years of Adventist legalism and the inability to feel truly safe with God• marriage strain, shame cycles, and the limits of behavior-based righteousness• hearing testimonies that spark hope and the gospel “clicking” through the Adam One and Adam Two lens• Sabbath as rest rather than a transaction and blessing as something already given in Christ• learning to speak life to her younger self and to anyone still trapped in performance💰 DONATE & SUPPORT our Ministry: lovereality.org/give👍 LIKE us on Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/alovereality📷 FOLLOW us on Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/riyoung31/📚 LEARN more at our site: lovereality.orgJoin us for the best gathering on the internet, Internet Church.
