192. Church Hurt Doesn’t Have to Be the End of Your Story: Finding Real Faith Again After Religious Trauma (ft. Mia Elliott)

If you’ve ever walked away from a church experience carrying more wounds than hope, you’re not alone.

In today’s episode, I sit down with my friend Mia Elliott who shares her powerful story of growing up in a rigid, rule-based faith and how God gently led her into something deeper — a real, rich relationship with Jesus.

Mia opens up about religious trauma, the ache of church hurt, and what it looked like to rediscover the heart of God after disappointment. Her story reminds us that healing doesn’t mean walking away from faith, sometimes it means finally meeting Jesus outside the performance and pressure.

If you’ve been hurt by people in the name of religion or you’re wondering if faith can ever feel safe again, this conversation will breathe hope right where you are.
