942 | Fair Trade | Mary Cusack | Part 1

From a devout Catholic childhood in Brooklyn to the hard questions of identity, addiction, and faith, Mary Cusack’s story is one of honesty, struggle, and remarkable resilience. In this deeply personal conversation with host, Robin Linkhart, Mary reflects on growing up surrounded by the rituals and beauty of Catholic devotion while wrestling with the painful belief that who she was might be incompatible with the God she loved.  Her journey reveals how faith can endure—even when everything you thought you knew about God must be torn down and rebuilt. This is part one of a powerful story of survival, grace, and the relentless search for a God who meets us in the deepest places of our lives. Listen to other episodes in the Fair Trade series. Download the Transcript. Thanks for listening to Faith Unfiltered!Follow us on Facebook and Instagram!Intro and Outro music used with permission: “For Everyone Born,” Community of Christ Sings #285.
