15: You Didn't Leave God. You Left Religion.

If you’ve ever been told you “lost your faith” or “walked away from God,” this episode is for you.

In this episode, we go straight into the Book of James (which is one of the most confrontational, misunderstood books in the Bible) and we expose what James is actually calling out: performative religion. The kind of religion that knows Scripture but lacks love in the way it moves. The kind that judges people instead of helping them heal. The kind that talks about God while actively pushing people away from Him.

James doesn’t defend hollow Christianity. He confronts it. And I am HERE. FOR. IT.

James, brother of Jesus, calls out faith without action, religion without fruit, judgment without humility, and spirituality that never touches real life. And it’s that version of religion (fear-based, image-obsessed, control-driven religion) that ran so many of us out of the church and made us question God Himself.

You didn’t leave God. You left hypocrisy.

In this episode we talk about:

• What James actually meant by “pure religion”

• Why faith without embodiment is dead

• How judgment and moral superiority violate the heart of God

• Why endurance, stewardship, and alignment matter more than appearances

• How Jesus and James both dismantled religious performance and restored relationship

• Why spirituality rooted in God and Scripture is not demonic; it’s biblical

This is not an episode about abandoning Christianity or faith.
It’s about reclaiming it.
