Send us Fan MailWhat do you do when the people who were supposed to point you to God... made you want to walk away from Him instead?That is exactly where Elizabeth Androl found herself. She grew up in church, loved it, had her name engraved on her very first Bible. But between a legalistic environment, and adults who contradicted everything she believed, she did what a lot of young girls do. She stopped. She looked for answers in other places, went down some dark roads, and spent years not really knowing who she was or where she belonged.This conversation goes there. The depression, the anxiety, the suicidal thoughts, the new age rabbit hole. The silence she felt she had to keep. And then, a Bible left open on the floor to Psalm 84 that she doesn't remember opening.Elizabeth shares what it looked like to come back to faith as an adult, find a church that finally felt like home, and have a moment at the altar that broke something loose she had been carrying for years.Her words say it better than I ever could. She went from being an angry child to feeling like a child of God.If you have ever felt like you were too far gone, too confused, or too messy for God to find you, this one is for you.Scriptures mentioned in this episode:Psalm 84 | Hebrews 12:1-2 | Romans 12:1-2 | Philippians 4:8 | Jeremiah 29:11 | 2 Corinthians 10:5HERE is the song I couldn't remember the words of, the bridge is so good!Find us on socials @amessyamenpodlinktr.ee/Amessyamenpod
