Discovering Authenticity. From fear and suffocation to freedom of LETTING LOVE LEAD. My Journey.
from Candid Conversation. Religion and more. Hard Questions. Real Talk. Honest exploration. · host Andy
Candid Conversations Podcast. The Genesis. The Beginning. Why did I start this podcast? It was born out of my journey being raised in the secretive 2x2 church (high control religion), going into the ministry, or becoming a "worker" for over 25 years. The church often calls itself "The Truth" and the members "friends." In 2023 revelations of widespread CSA led to an ongoing FBI investigation into the church. I began writing a book about my life and experiences (120 pages in now) after starting life all over again three years ago when I left the volunteer ministry I had given my life to. I have seen and felt a great need in myself and countless others, to move beyond and through fear and discomfort. How? Lean INTO the uncomfortable. Express your doubts, questions, and fears. I have always craved candid conversations as they stimulate growth. That's what I want this podcast to be. I look forward to more guest/visitors contributing to these conversations that lean into the uncomfortable with Love leading the way. I want to help stimulate growth in all of us.
