What do you do when the very place that taught you to trust God… is also the place that made you afraid of Him? If you’ve ever felt torn between your love for God and your fear of being hurt again — this episode is for you. In today’s conversation, we’re stepping into one of the most tender questions:  Can I trust God again… after what happened? You’ll hear a deeply personal moment from my own journey — a time when I couldn’t pray, couldn’t open my Bible, and didn’t know who I was anymore. But it was in that quiet wilderness that something sacred began to shift. One raw, honest prayer became the doorway to restoration. You’ll learn: – Why spiritual trauma doesn’t mean you’ve lost your faith — but it may have damaged your sense of safety with God – The 3 gentle steps that helped me begin rebuilding trust without pressure, performance, or pretending – How to create space for spiritual connection that honors your emotions, your pace, and your healing – A journal prompt to help you begin separating God’s true voice from the voices that wounded you Then we’ll explore three key steps for rebuilding trust in God after spiritual harm: Step 1: Separate God from those who misrepresented Him Step 2: Reconnect through safe, non-performative rhythms Step 3: Let your emotions become part of your faith — not barriers to it This isn’t about returning to old patterns or forcing belief you no longer feel. It’s about creating a new foundation — one rooted in truth, tenderness, and spiritual safety. And by the end, I’ll share three healing truths to carry into your week: ✨ You don’t have to rush trust. ✨ You’re allowed to bring your grief into your faith. ✨ God never asked you to shrink to be loved.   🎧 Mentioned in this episode: → Take the free quiz at ReligiousTraumaQuiz.com to discover where you are in your healing journey and what’s been holding you back → Grab your copy of He Is Enough at HeIsEnoughBook.com — and get instant access to the audiobook, healing mini-course, weekly reading circles, and our support community for just $17   This isn’t surface-level faith advice.
