I grew up in church.God was always the right answer.Mess up? God.Feel guilty? God.Need forgiveness? Quote a verse and reset.But depression changed everything.When my mental health started slipping, my faith didn’t disappear. My trust did. I didn’t feel guided. I didn’t feel covered. I didn’t feel held.And when I was struggling the most, I kept hearing the same thing:“You’re not praying hard enough.”In this episode, I talk openly about my fractured relationship with God.Not from a place of rebellion.From a place of honesty.I still believe in a Creator.I just don’t know what our relationship is anymore.This isn’t anti-God.It’s anti-performing faith.If you’ve ever felt abandoned in your darkest season…If your depression made you question what you were taught…If you believe but don’t feel connected…This conversation is for you.What We Talk AboutGrowing up in a Black Southern household where God was the solution to everythingHow faith sometimes felt like a spiritual reset buttonWhen depression made trust disappearThe “pray harder” narrative and how it damaged more than it healedWhy suffering in the Bible is accepted, but mental health struggles aren’tComparing my relationship with God to my relationship with my fatherWanting peace more than answersThe difference between believing in God and feeling held by HimWhy you shouldn’t force a version of faith that doesn’t match where you are emotionallyIt’s About DAMN TimeIt’s about DAMN time we stop forcing a relationship with God that doesn’t reflect where we actually are.Be honest about your faith.Be honest about your doubt.Be honest about your pain.Truth is not rebellion.It’s alignment.If This Episode ResonatedYou are not broken.You are not faithless.You are human.Share this episode with someone who doesn’t have the words yet.Let them know they’re not alone.Connect with Me🔗 Follow me on all platforms: @DaWholeDamnShow🎧 Follow It’s About DAMN Time: @ItsAboutDamnTimePod💥 Cop the DAMN University merch right here → Shop now
