The ReJEWvenating Podcast - Episode 1: Fear of God

In this episode of The ReJEWvenating Podcast we dive into one of the most emotionally loaded and misunderstood topics in Jewish life: our relationship with God — and how it changes from childhood to adulthood.They explore how many of us grew up with a fear-based view of Hashem — shaped by schools, stories, and “scare-tactic theology” — and how that often evolves (or breaks down) as we mature. From the famous “life-review video” story to the pressure of reward-and-punishment Judaism, they unpack how early religious messaging can impact our faith, mental health, and sense of self long into adulthood.
