Grow + Go | From Cult to Christ with Christy Lynne Wood

In this powerful and honest episode, I sit down with Christy Lynne Wood to talk about what it really means to move from religion to relationship. Raised in a rigid Christian cult, Christy’s early experience of faith was steeped in fear, control, and legalism. But Jesus found her anyway.Now a writer, speaker, and behaviour specialist working with dysregulated children, Christy shares her unfolding journey from black-and-white beliefs to a faith rooted in grace, embodiment, and encounter. We talk about the role of deconstruction—not as a pathway to walking away from Jesus, but as a means of discovering Him afresh.We explore:✨ Why Gnosticism still influences modern Christianity✨ How embodiment matters in a truly holistic faith✨ What it’s like to marry someone with a very different spiritual upbringing✨ Why it’s safe—and even sacred—to ask questions✨ How love, not fear, is the foundation for real growthWhether you’re questioning long-held beliefs, navigating control-based faith structures, or yearning for more authenticity in your relationship with God, this conversation will remind you: He wants to be found.Connect further with Christy:Threads | Website | Substack | Instagram Connect further with Em:⁠Substack⁠ | ⁠emtyler.com⁠ | ⁠Instagram⁠ | Facebook |  ⁠[email protected]⁠ Interested in having Em come speak at your event? ⁠Book Em today! ⁠ This is a public episode.
