Season 3, Episode 5: Living What You Believe with Tori Hein

Mar 17th, 2026 5:00 AM

In this conversation, Karrie Garcia and Tori Hein explore the concept of being biblically sound, emphasizing the importance of integrating scripture into everyday life. They discuss the challenges of understanding God through personal stories, the significance of community, and the role of confession and vulnerability in spiritual growth. The conversation highlights practical applications of faith, the journey of transformation, and the necessity of embodying God's teachings to foster authentic relationships with Him and others.About Tori HeinTori is a down-to-earth communicator and coach who engages people with her authenticity, wisdom, and passion for God and His Word. Growing up as a church staff kid, she witnessed the limits of the church’s ability to support people in emotionally mature ways. She carried that lack of emotional awareness into her marriage and career. In supporting her husband’s music ministry, Tori poured herself into an online business for over a decade, working tirelessly to serve others and prove her worth while feeling burned out, disconnected, and unsure how to welcome people into the inner reality of her own heart.In 2020, Tori stumbled into Freedom Academy, expecting a coaching training to help grow her business. Instead, she was invited into a deep process of healing from chronic stress and overworking, which awakened a new passion to support women with trauma-informed coaching.This journey eventually led her to join Freedom Movement on staff as a coach, Storywork practitioner, and director of marketing and strategy. She carries a kind and comfortable presence that disarms people and invites them safety into honesty and transformation. She lives in the Tennessee countryside just south of Nashville with her husband, Matt, and their three children, Micaiah, Amara, and Ezra.https://www.torimaehein.com_____________________________________Karrie's Instagram: @karriescottgarciaKarrie’s Website: karriegarcia.comFreedom Movement Instagram: @freedom_movementFreedom Movement Website: wearefm.orgSign up for Freedom Movement Trainings: https://www.wearefm.org/trainingsFind Story Work Retreat info & sign-ups:https://www.karriegarcia.com/work-with-karriePurchase Karrie's book Free & Fully Alive!https://www.amazon.com/dp/0310366445?ref_=cm_sw_r_cp_ud_dp_A6200T1AKD7FS2PZ8VA1Book Karrie for Speaking Engagements:https://www.karriegarcia.com/book-karrie Music by Tanya Godsey
