Have you rejected God? Do you really struggle in your relationship with him? If you’re from a broken family and that’s true, you’re not strange. In fact, it’s really common.

Why? From a young age, our parents represent God to us. If their example wasn’t good, it leaves us with a distorted image of God. As a result, we reject him or struggle extra in our relationship with him. We discuss that and more:

  • How Sr. Miriam began drinking at age 12 and became an alcoholic as a D1 athlete
  • 3 common barriers that prevent you from healing
  • Tough questions like, “Why would God allow our families to fall apart?” and “Why doesn’t God make his love more obvious?”
