Courage can be found in the honesty of words, thoughts, and opinions that others may disagree with.

Courage can be found in the bravery of staying in the conversation when words are strong and emotions run wild.

There are, of course, lots of other examples of courage, and the release of today’s @findingfitpod episode is yet another opportunity for courage. In this episode, we discuss our encounter with spiritual abuse.

To be honest, one of the main reasons we started this podcast was to share this story in particular.  It’s important to us because not only is it an important part of who we are, but also how we love others -- specifically through REFIT.

We understand that discussions of denomination, religion, theology, and, specifically, Christianity can be volatile, and we are aware that our stories, though personal, can have a wide and diverse impact. Our commitment to this podcast has always been to share our truest, unedited (and often unfiltered) versions of ourselves, and this episode holds nothing back.

TWO DISCLAIMERS:

•Some of the content discussed in this episode can be triggering if you’ve encountered any type of abuse, so listener discretion is advised.  

•Should personal questions, concerns or issues arise after listening to this episode, we encourage you to seek counsel from a trusted peer, mentor, family member or pastor.

We love you guys. Thanks for listening.❤️

We know that discussions about church, theology, denomination, and Christian culture are hard...and, at times, divisive.  The last thing we want to do is bring additional dissension and debate into an already tumultuous arena. But to be honest, one of the main reasons we started this podcast was to share this story in particular.  It’s important to us because not only is it an important part of who we are, but also how we love.

As you listen, please know that our intent isn’t to mischaracterize our faith, those who helped shape it, or, most importantly, who God is in our lives today.  We sincerely hope you hear our gratitude for a God who loves us despite our flawed theology, naive decisions, and wild pursuits.

Thanks for listening.
