 Do you love God—but feel like you’re slowly drifting away from Him, and you don’t know why? Are you scared that questioning your church—or your faith—might mean losing everything you love? Do you constantly second-guess your emotions, your voice, even your own intuition—wondering if you’re the problem? Are you exhausted from trying to be good enough, faithful enough, spiritual enough… and still feeling like you fall short?

Find a gentle, supportive space where spiritual transformation and healing are real and faith still matters.Hi, I’m Debra.A lifelong woman of faith who spent decades trying to earn God’s love by doing everything “right.” I was the helper, the volunteer, the spiritual overachiever. But underneath all the striving, I felt disconnected—from God, from myself, and from the woman I longed to be.Like so many of the women I now serve, I kept trying to pray harder, serve more, and fix myself—hoping the fog would lift, the guilt would fade, and I’d finally feel close to God’s love again. But none of it worked.What changed?I finally realized that it wasn’t my faith that was failing—it was the version of it I’d been handed. The one rooted in fear, control, and silence. So I started to untangle the lies, listen for God’s true voice, and walk in the kind of healing that leads to spiritual freedom—not fear.And the outcome?I created the kind of compassionate, honest, Spirit-led healing journey I couldn’t find anywhere else.

    15 | What's Wrong with Me? (Turns Out... Nothing): God's Love Made Me This Way
    2025/10/22
    Have you ever felt like you just... don't fit? Maybe you've been told you're too sensitive, too analytical, too emotional, too intense, or that you ask too many questions. Maybe you think too much, feel too deeply, or see things in ways that other people just don't understand. Or maybe nobody said it out loud - but you sensed it. You picked up on the subtle messages that your natural way of being was somehow wrong. If you've ever wondered "Why can't I just have simple faith like everyone else?" or felt like the way God made you was somehow a mistake - this episode is for you. Episode Description If you've been hiding your true self because you thought being "different" meant being defective, you're not alone - and nothing is wrong with you. Today we're exploring one of the most isolating hidden barriers of religious trauma: the belief "I'm Different (in the wrong way)." Through Debra's transformative story - from being shushed for her enthusiasm to discovering that "enthusiasm" literally means "God within" - we'll uncover how religious environments can label your God-given traits as flaws and teach you to suppress your spiritual intelligence. You'll discover that what you thought were defects are actually divine faculties - spiritual intelligence designed to connect you directly to God and fulfill your unique purpose. Your sensitivity, depth, questions, and way of seeing aren't problems to fix but gifts to celebrate. This isn't about becoming more like everyone else - it's about discovering that your differences are your divine design, and the world needs exactly what you have to offer. In this episode, you'll discover: → Why feeling "different" in religious spaces often means your spiritual faculties are operating - and how to recognize your unique gifts → What spiritual intelligence really is - the mind faculties like intuition, perception, curiosity, imagination, and heart's desire that God installed in you at birth → How traits labeled as "too much" (sensitivity, analytical nature, questioning spirit, creativity) are actually evidence of your divine equipment → The revolutionary truth that different doesn't equal defective - it equals divine design for your specific calling → One simple practice to identify and honor your strongest spiritual faculty instead of hiding it Healing Truth You're not different in the wrong way. You're different in exactly the right way for your divine calling. What you've been told are flaws are actually spiritual faculties - divine intelligence designed to connect you with God. Your sensitivity is spiritual perception. Your analytical nature is divine wisdom. Your questions are curiosity seeking truth. The woman who celebrates her unique spiritual intelligence instead of suppressing it - she's not someone you have to become. She's who you've always been, waiting to be remembered beneath all the hiding. Ready to go deeper?

Transform your story completely: Join the Coming Home Journey at TheComingHomeJourney.com - a six-month guided experience to unravel religious trauma, instill God's truth, and create your new story alongside women who truly understand. In Milestone 7, dive deep into your spiritual intelligence and discover all the mind faculties God gave you to connect directly with Him. About Debra I'm Debra Shafer, spiritual healing coach for Christian women and founder of the Coming Home Journey. For over seven years, I've walked alongside women who love God deeply but feel exhausted by religious performance and pressure. I know this path personally - I've been shushed for my God-given enthusiasm - and I've seen what happens when women finally celebrate their differences instead of suppressing them: they discover they were always exactly who God intended them to be. Listener Love If this episode helped you see that being different isn't being defective, would you share it with someone who needs this freedom? And a quick review on Apple Podcasts helps more women discover that their sensitivity, depth, and questions are spiritual intelligence, not flaws. This isn't surface-level faith advice. It's soul-level restoration for Christian women healing from religious trauma who long for inner peace, spiritual healing, and the ability to trust God completely. Through addressing generational trauma and nurturing true connection, we help you experience God's love in the deepest way. Strengthen your relationship with a safe, loving God.

  • 14 | Why Following All the Rules Still Leaves You Feeling Like a Failure — and Longing for Inner Peace

    14 | Why Following All the Rules Still Leaves You Feeling Like a Failure — and Longing for Inner Peace
    2025/10/18
    Have you ever done everything right... and still felt like something was fundamentally wrong with you? Maybe you've been the good girl your whole life - the rule-follower who memorized scripture, volunteered at church, showed up early and stayed late. You've tried so hard to get it all right. But somehow, it still wasn't enough. You still felt behind, disorganized, like you were failing at faith itself - even though you couldn't pinpoint exactly what you were doing wrong. If you've ever felt exhausted from trying to follow all the rules while the goalposts kept moving, or if you've wondered why being a "good Christian" still leaves you feeling like a spiritual failure - this episode is for you. Episode Description If you're exhausted from religious performance and still feeling like you can't get it right, you're not alone - and you're not failing. Today we're exploring one of the most depleting hidden barriers of religious trauma: the belief "I'm a Failure." Through Debra's powerful story - from having every business dream shut down to discovering she could be brilliant AND imperfect at the same time - we'll uncover how religious environments create impossible standards that keep Christian women on an endless treadmill of trying harder. You'll discover the revolutionary difference between religious rules that exhaust you and divine principles that set you free, and learn why God's character isn't a measuring stick for your worthiness but a compass that guides you toward growth. This isn't about lowering standards - it's about discovering that principles are about direction, not perfection, and that you're not failing when you're learning. In this episode, you'll discover: → Why the exhausting cycle of rule-following never brings the peace you're seeking - and how to recognize when you're measuring yourself by broken systems → The difference between religious rules (external, performance-driven) and divine principles (internal, character-aligned) - and why this changes everything → How God's principles like gentleness, individuality, free will, and love become your compass instead of condemnation → The liberating truth that principles are about trajectory, not perfection - you don't have to stay in the center of the lane to be heading in the right direction → One simple practice using divine principles to make decisions with clarity and peace instead of fear and guilt Healing Truth You're not a spiritual failure. You've been trying to navigate by rules that were designed to measure and control instead of by principles that guide and transform. God's principles aren't new rules to follow perfectly - they're a compass pointing you toward His character. The woman who makes decisions from internal wisdom instead of external pressure, who lives from character alignment instead of performance anxiety - she's not someone you have to become. She's who you've always been, waiting to be remembered beneath all the striving. Ready to go deeper?

  • 13 | Is Your Honest Emotion Too Much for God? What Lament Teaches Christian Women About True Connection

    13 | Is Your Honest Emotion Too Much for God? What Lament Teaches Christian Women About True Connection
    2025/10/08
    Have you ever cried... and then felt ashamed for crying? Maybe you poured out your heart to someone you trusted - a spiritual leader, a friend, even God - and instead of being held in your pain, you were told to have more faith, pray harder, or just get over it. Or maybe you've learned to hide your struggles altogether because somewhere along the way, you started believing that your pain was proof something was fundamentally wrong with you. If you've ever felt like expressing honest emotion meant you were spiritually weak, or if you've been waiting for others to notice you're hurting while never actually telling them you need help - this episode is for you. Episode Description If you've been hiding your heart because you thought your pain made you unlovable, you're not alone - and you're not damaged goods. Today we're exploring one of the most devastating hidden barriers of religious trauma: the belief "I'm Unlovable." Through Debra's deeply personal story - from being told her grief was spiritual adultery to discovering God's inexpressible love in sacred sorrow - we'll uncover how religious environments can silence women's pain and teach them that honest expression equals weak faith. You'll discover an ancient language of worship that was stolen from you but has always been yours - the practice of lament - and learn why your pain doesn't repel God but actually moves His heart toward you. This isn't about becoming less emotional - it's about discovering that nothing you feel is too much for God, and that your wounds don't make you damaged, they make you beautifully, achingly human. In this episode, you'll discover: → Why hiding your pain and minimizing your needs keeps you disconnected from authentic love - and how to recognize when you're doing it → The ancient practice of lament - bringing your unfiltered heart directly to God without cleaning it up first → How God's ḥesed (loyal, covenant love) meets you in your deepest places, not because your pain disappeared but because you've encountered His presence in the middle of it → The difference between being unloved and being under-nurtured - and why this reframe changes everything → One simple practice to start bringing honest emotion to God each day and watch for the moment when His inexpressible love breaks through Healing Truth Your pain doesn't make you unlovable. It makes you human. And God's ḥesed - His loyal, covenant love - is specifically for humans in all their beautiful brokenness. You don't have to be healed to be loved by Him. You don't have to have it all together. The woman who brings her whole, broken, furious, grieving heart directly to God - she's not someone you have to become. She's who you've always been, waiting to be remembered beneath all the hiding. Ready to go deeper?
