In this episode of Dear God, Unscripted, JB and Kiara look back on how their faith has grown—from little kids in church trying to make sense of it all, to grown folks still figuring it out. They swap stories about how they used to see God, what church was like growing up, and how things hit different now. It’s honest, funny, and full of those “dang, that’s real” moments. At the heart of it all, it’s about love—God’s love.Chapters00:00 The Evolution of Faith: Childhood Memories09:45 Teenage Years and Early Adulthood15:15 Reflections on Personal Growth and Challenges15:46 Finding Faith Through Family Struggles22:27 The Journey of Self-Discovery and Healing22:50 Navigating Relationships and Spiritual Abuse27:12 Experiencing Freedom in Faith30:15 Wrestling with God and Understanding Love37:55 Embracing Love and Acceptance in FaithTakeawaysFaith is not one-size-fits-all—it grows and shifts as life does. 🌱✨How we saw God as kids was often shaped by who raised us and the churches we came up in. 🏠⛪The teen years?
