Part 2: A Strict Church Upbringing Wasn't For Me. What Led Me to Leave the Church & How I Found My Freedom

from Lesson Learned · host Ali and Ellie

In this episode, we hear from Sarah, who grew up in a strict Pentecostal church where being “worldly” was something to be avoided for a committed believer. While there were positives to being part of such a close-knit community, Sarah eventually began to question the version of reality she was taught to believe. This journey of self-discovery led her to break away from the church, seeking freedom and her own definition of a fulfilled and balanced life.Although many values from her upbringing remain a part of her, Sarah’s perspective on faith has shifted as she has chosen a way of life that embraces love and acceptance, leaving behind the fear and shame that once defined her beliefs.Want more?
