Counting the Cost: What Church Won’t Tell You
09/11/2025

05/01/2025

On this episode of the More Than Just Pretty Podcast, I'm pulling back the curtain on a truth I never thought I'd share publicly.

This one might ruffle some feathers… but it’s real.

In this raw and honest episode, I’m exposing the truth about my own walk with God—and how I came to realize I was living a lukewarm faith masked as devotion.

God confronted me. And what He showed me wrecked me… and changed me.

We’re unpacking:
