159 - Feral Grace: Stephanie’s Untamed Journey of Spiritual Sovereignty

This episode is one of the most raw, personal, and transformative conversations I’ve ever shared.

Stephanie and I went on another walk. What started as a playful moment—me calling her “feral” in the previous episode—unfolded into one of the most powerful retellings of her entire spiritual journey.

What you’ll hear in this episode:

• The truth behind what I meant when I called Stephanie “feral”
• Stephanie’s resistance to spiritual domestication—even when the church, the board, and I tried to tame her
• Her early life outside religion, and the painful moment she was first introduced to shame-based Christianity
• Her full story of being a pastor’s wife who never fit the mold
• The moment a retreat in the Rocky Mountains changed everything
• Her mother wound. Her freedom. Her mountain. Her return.

We talk about guilt, shame, spiritual indoctrination, religious performance, and the deep cost of not being allowed to fully be yourself.

But we also talk about liberation. Truth. Identity. Wholeness.

And what it means to walk with God untamed.

If you’ve ever wondered whether you might be “spiritually feral” too… this episode is for you.

Stephanie’s story is a mirror. A map. And a permission slip.

Come walk with us.
