In this powerful and honest episode, I sit down with
to talk about what it really means to move from religion to relationship. Raised in a rigid Christian cult, Christy’s early experience of faith was steeped in fear, control, and legalism. But Jesus found her anyway.Now a writer, speaker, and behaviour specialist working with dysregulated children, Christy shares her unfolding journey from black-and-white beliefs to a faith rooted in grace, embodiment, and encounter. We talk about the role of deconstruction—not as a pathway to walking away from Jesus, but as a means of discovering Him afresh.
We explore:
✨ Why Gnosticism still influences modern Christianity
✨ How embodiment matters in a truly holistic faith
✨ What it’s like to marry someone with a very different spiritual upbringing
✨ Why it’s safe—and even sacred—to ask questions
✨ How love, not fear, is the foundation for real growth
What if deconstruction isn’t the end of faith—but a doorway into freedom with Jesus?
Whether you’re questioning long-held beliefs, navigating control-based faith structures, or yearning for more authenticity in your relationship with God, this conversation will remind you: He wants to be found.
