Why I Stopped Hiding My Relationship With God

from Mind Over Matter: Mindset Development Hosted by Deja Wallace

Send us Fan Mail I talk through why sharing Jesus publicly felt complicated. I didn’t want to be labeled, boxed in, or forced into a “perfect Christian” image that didn’t match my personality. But the more I grew in my walk with God, the more staying silent felt wrong, especially when my blessings have been so public. So I’m telling the full truth, from growing up around church routines to realizing I never had a personal relationship with God for myself. Then I take you to the Cayman Islands, December 2023, the turning point. After years away from church and deep into new age spirituality, astrology, sage, meditation, and searching for meaning everywhere but God, I felt an undeniable peace I couldn’t explain. Looking back, I know it was the Holy Spirit. That moment also brought conviction about forgiveness, freedom, and the decision to evolve into who God was calling me to be. I also get real about the backlash: how fast change can make people doubt you, how isolation can push you to hide, and why I’m done trying to please people over pleasing God. If you’ve been curious about reclaiming faith, moving from spiritual trends to a relationship with Jesus Christ, or learning how to be bold without being afraid, this one is for you.
