No one warned me that returning to God would be one of the hardest things I ever did. I had to confront my pride, my wounds, my habits, and the uncomfortable truth that following Jesus required me to actually change.

In this episode, I'm sharing 12 hard lessons I learned as a baby Christian that I wish someone had told me sooner. These are the raw, honest truths that could have saved me years of guilt, confusion, spiritual burnout, and doubt.

Whether you're just coming back to your faith, starting your Catholic faith journey, or you've been walking with God for a while, I pray this encourages you that you are not struggling alone.
