Have you ever felt let down by the church or struggled with religious trauma? In this deep and honest conversation, Sherita, Connie, and Joshua pull back the curtain on why people are walking away from faith and how we can find our way back to a genuine relationship with God.

Tonight on the couch, the team dives into the spicy and often uncomfortable topic of church hurt. They explore the difference between the institution of the church and the flawed people who inhabit it, reminding us that even leaders are human. From the pressure of dressing your Sunday best to the complex feelings surrounding tithes and offerings, no stone is left unturned.

The discussion highlights how the church should function as a hospital for the sick rather than a museum for the perfect. You will hear practical advice on how to start reading the Bible for yourself, why it is okay to feel angry with God during hard times, and the power of simply asking Him to remember you. This episode is a call to authenticity, urging believers to show their scars and share their full testimonies to give God the total glory. Whether you are currently in the pews or have been away for years, this conversation offers a path toward healing and spiritual maturity.

Welcome to the Couch! Are you ready to shed your old self and step into the person you were truly meant to be? In this powerful episode, we dive deep into the journey of healing, spiritual growth, and reclaiming your identity with our special guest, Dr. Mia.

Join hosts Sherita, Connie, and Joshua as they welcome Dr. Mia Hartsfield to discuss her transformative ministry and the 40-week cohort designed for set-apart women.

The conversation also shifts to the state of our communities, comparing the village mentality of the past to the modern isolation many feel today. We tackle tough topics like parenting challenges, the reality of generational cycles, and a candid discussion on the concept of black fatigue versus ignorance fatigue. This episode is packed with pearls of wisdom for anyone seeking a more authentic life and a stronger connection to their community and faith.
