170 – If you're stuck in a legalistic church, it may be time to leave.

Being in a legalistic church is like being stuck in a small, tight box with little freedom.

In today's podcast, I have a conversation with my friend Emily Louis, a worthiness coach and the host of the Abundant Grace Podcast, who left legalism for God's abundant grace.

Here are some of the things we talked about:

• Why did you start your podcast, Abundant Grace and how has it blessed folks?
• What was the first thing you found freedom from in you journey out of legalism?
• Why was it so hard?
• Why do you think people find comfort in the box, in the rules and the legalism? 
• What caused you to rebel against legalism?
• Why do people obey the legalistic rules if they don't agree with them?
• What was your concept of and your relationship with God growing up and how has that changed?
• How has your approach to prayer changed?
• What are some of the theological things you don't believe anymore?
• How did you find your worth as a child of God?
• How do you help people discover and accept their worth?
• What is God's abundant grace and unconditional love like?
• How did it feel when you actually left the church you grew up in?
