    Raw & Refined: Where Faith & Therapy Meet | LeLyne Edens Joyner | BCP16

    Can faith and therapy work together—or should one be enough?

    In this episode of the Bent Christian Podcast, Cliff sits down with Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist and EMDR therapist LeLyne Edens Joyner, founder of Raw and Refined Coaching, for an honest conversation about trauma, counseling, faith, relationships, and what real healing can look like.

    LeLyne’s passion for helping others didn’t begin in a classroom. Her own experiences with childhood trauma eventually led her to counseling, where her personal healing journey helped reveal a calling to walk alongside others. Today, she brings together professional training, lived experience, and her faith in Christ to help people navigate trauma, relationships, emotional healing, and personal growth.

    The conversation explores the meaning behind Raw & Refined—being honest about the raw parts of our lives while continuing to pursue healing, growth, and maturity.

    They also tackle an important tension surrounding mental health and Christianity. On one side is the belief that if your faith is strong enough, you shouldn’t need therapy. On the other is an approach to healing that can leave faith and God completely out of the conversation.

    Does it really have to be one or the other?

    LeLyne shares why she doesn’t see counseling and faith as competitors, how trauma can affect the brain and our relationships, what EMDR therapy is designed to address, why community matters in healing, and why finding the right therapist can make such a difference.

    Most importantly, this conversation is about hope.

    Our past can be part of our story without determining our future. Healing is possible. And as LeLyne reminds us during the conversation:

    “If it’s not beautiful yet, if it’s not good yet, He’s not done.”

    If you’re carrying pain from your past, questioning whether counseling belongs alongside your faith, or walking beside someone who is hurting, this conversation is for you.

    Remember, you don’t have to stay broken—no matter where you’ve been or what you’ve been through. And none of us are perfect. So if we’re not broken and we’re not perfect… maybe we’re all just bent.

    RECALLED: Can You Miss God’s Calling? | Sam Wright Jr. | BCP15
    2026/07/31

    Have you ever wondered if you missed God's calling on your life?

    Maybe you once felt God leading you, but life took a different direction. Maybe you've made mistakes, walked away from your faith, or wondered if your past has disqualified you from God's purpose.

    In this powerful episode of the Bent Christian Podcast, Cliff Sweazey sits down with coach, mentor, and leader Samuel Wright Jr. to discuss a journey of calling, failure, restoration, and grace. Samuel shares how God continued pursuing him through every season of his life—even when he wandered—and how God's purpose was never canceled by his mistakes.

    This conversation explores questions so many people wrestle with:

    • Can you miss God's calling?

    • Can God still use you after failure?

    • Is it too late to fulfill God's purpose?

    • What happens when you walk away from God?

    • Does God still call imperfect people?

    Samuel's story is a powerful reminder that while we may drift, delay, or ignore God's leading for a season, God's grace continues to pursue us. His calling isn't based on our perfection—it's rooted in His faithfulness.

    If you've ever felt like you've wasted years, made too many mistakes, or missed your opportunity to live the life God intended, this conversation offers hope. Your failures don't have the final word. God's grace does.

    The Prison No One Talks About | Finding Freedom Outside the Prison Walls | BCP14
    2026/06/29
    What if the hardest prison isn't made of concrete and steel? In this episode of the Bent Christian Podcast, Cliff sits down with Anne to discuss **Kairos Outside**, a ministry that brings hope, healing, and authentic Christian community to women whose lives have been impacted by incarceration. Whether it's a spouse, child, parent, sibling, friend, or your own past, incarceration affects far more people than those behind prison walls. Families often carry shame, loneliness, broken relationships, fear, and unanswered questions that no one else sees. But that's exactly where God meets us. Anne shares how Kairos Outside creates a safe place where women discover they are not alone, not forgotten, and not defined by someone else's mistakes—or even their own. Through honest conversations, prayer, community, and the love of Christ, women begin finding healing and hope together. Cliff also shares one of the most powerful statements he's ever heard while serving inside prison: "I didn't get arrested... I got rescued." It's a reminder that true freedom isn't determined by where you live. Real freedom is found in Jesus Christ. This conversation is about far more than prison ministry. It's about grace. It's about redemption. It's about ordinary people saying "yes" when God calls them to love others. And it's a reminder that Christianity isn't about religion—it's about a relationship with Jesus, who meets us right where we are and walks with us toward healing. If you or someone you know has been affected by incarceration, this episode may be exactly the encouragement you need. ### In this episode: 00:00 Welcome to the Bent Christian Podcast 02:00 Meet Anne and her journey into Kairos 07:00 What is Kairos Inside, Kairos Outside, and Kairos Torch? 10:00 Who qualifies for Kairos Outside? 14:00 Why community changes lives 17:00 "I Didn't Get Arrested...
