Why I Almost Quit—and Why I’m Beginning Again
from Unfeigned Christianity Hosted by Asher Witmer
I almost quit. After a long season of health challenges, burnout, and disillusionment, I came close to walking away from writing, podcasting, and this work altogether. In this episode, I share what brought me to that edge—and what pulled me back. This episode marks a reset for Unfeigned Christianity as we begin 2026. We talk about why the church desperately needs to be theologically anchored, why emotional health is essential for discipleship, and how we are often being formed more by media and politics than by the way of Jesus. This isn’t a polished manifesto. It’s an honest conversation. If you’re longing for a faith that is grounded, emotionally healthy, and capable of loving others well—this journey is for you. *You can read the written version of this episode here.
