What if wisdom—not certainty—is the key to a deeper, stronger faith? In this episode, Dr. Autumn unpacks why spiritual growth isn’t about rigid rules or black‑and‑white answers, but about holy curiosity, discernment, and courage.

Through her own story of wrestling with tough decisions and rethinking inherited beliefs, Autumn reframes “deconstruction” as something better: faith evolution. She shows how asking hard questions doesn’t push us away from God—it draws us closer.

With warmth and practical wisdom, Autumn reminds us that real growth, like strength training, requires resistance. The result? A faith that’s wiser, braver, and built to last.
