Hi! I’ve been listening to y’all for about six months and wanted to let you know what a blessing your show has been. As the title indicates, I’m a recovering Catholic. I was raised very traditionally Catholic, and in listening to your podcast, I’ve realized how many similarities there are between that sect of Christianity and the IFB – if they didn’t hate each other on principle, they would get along perfectly!! I grew up with an incredible amount of guilt and feeling as though I was headed for hell if I made even the smallest mistake. When I went to college at the University of South Carolina, I went completely the other way and spent years living for myself and for the world. I still believed in God, but didn’t try to live a Godly life at all. I found your show while I was pregnant with my daughter, who is now three months old. I’m unmarried, and my family was unsurprisingly very angry with me and very disappointed in my choices. I felt lost and alone and I knew I wanted better for my daughter. I wanted to be a better mother who would raise my girl the right way. Your podcast honestly reignited my faith in a way I’ve never experienced. I started praying consistently again, started reading my Bible, listening to Christian music, and going to church (virtually because of Covid and a newborn, but I hope to go back in person very soon). I consider myself very liberal and definitely don’t agree with you guys on everything, but honestly I like it that way – it’s healthy for me to listen to opposing perspectives and really question why I believe what I do. Our world needs more of that. I’ve rambled, but seriously, thank you for what you do. Thank you for your wisdom, love, and Godliness – I know you’re helping so many people. Hopefully I can come to meet you all one day! God bless!!
