..."From God is Punishing Me."

Welcome back to I’d Like to Unsubscribe, the podcast where we call out bad theology and send it packing with a passive-aggressive fruit basket. Today we’re diving into one of the heaviest lies chronic illness sufferers wrestle with: “God is punishing me.” Yep. That one. The one that sneaks into your brain at 2 a.m. after a scary diagnosis or during yet another pain flare, whispering, “What did I do wrong?”Let’s get this straight from the jump: You are not sick because God is mad at you. He’s not teaching you a “lesson” by wrecking your body. And He is definitely not an emotionally manipulative ex who breaks your legs just so He can look like the hero when He shows up with a crutch. That is not love. That is not God. And it is 100% not Biblical.We’ll talk about how this toxic thinking gets planted (hint: years of half-truth church clichés like “Everything happens for a reason” or “God won’t give you more than you can handle”—insert eye roll here). We’ll also unpack why pain is the byproduct of a broken world, not a heavenly punishment, and why God can handle your anger, doubt, and ugly-cry prayers without flinching.This one’s going deep into scripture, psychology, and the messy middle of faith in suffering. Think Job, the bleeding woman, even Jesus—none of them were punished by God, yet all walked through the fire.So grab your coffee (or your heating pad), because this episode is your permission slip to unsubscribe from shame, toss bad theology in the recycle bin, and finally breathe again knowing: You are not being punished. You are still deeply loved. ✨ XOXO, Marisa & Britt ***Also, please follow us on Insta @lupuschickofficial and @idliketounsibscribe and @goddoesntsuck - or learn more about us at www.Idliketounsubscribe.com
