Episode description as stored
The church you love.
The friends who feel like family.
The life you’ve built with your whole heart.
What happens when walking away from all of it is the only way to protect your family?
In this raw and vulnerable episode, Christy-Faith shares the story she’s held close for years—the painful season when her family had to leave their church, their friend group, and their entire social world behind almost overnight. From subtle red flags to full-blown spiritual and relational turmoil, she opens up about the moment everything cracked and the long road that followed.
