RELIGION SUCKS
Welcome to Religion Sucks, the podcast that explores what it means to have a real relationship with God—not the empty promises or endless demands of man-made religion—but daily, authentic intimacy with your Creator, in a relationship based on His unchanging character, not your performance.
Hosted by Pastor Rich Lasinski and his wife, author and speaker Kirsten Lasinski.
RELIGION SUCKS
Delivered from Darkness, Part One
A quiet lie can rewrite a whole life: you’re not enough, you don’t deserve love, you’re better off hiding. Our guest, Lauren, traces how those lies took root in her life, how social media amplified the ache, and how anxiety, depression, and self-harm became counterfeit forms of belonging.
What unfolds isn’t a quick fix or a neat conversion—it’s a slow return to hope through worship, honest community, and a new identity that's stronger than her shame.
If you’ve ever wondered how to support someone in the pit—or how to climb out yourself—this story offers real hope. Subscribe, share with a friend who needs encouragement, and leave a review to help more people find their way to healing.
