“I have listened to this show since the beginning. Huge fan. Very well done and thought provoking. This season Alix bravely places her fears and pain and fumblings out there for all to see. Her vulnerability is refreshing and commendable. It really makes you stop and think and examine your own preconceived notions and biases. But her sadness also made me profoundly sad. I’m not normally one to write a review on anything, but I can’t stop thinking about Alix and hoping she finds peace. I think it’s because I strongly identify with that sadness she describes. My faith in Jesus rescued me from profound sadness and despair in my life. God was my absolute last place to turn. But I was desperate and at the end of my rope, so I told him that if he was real, then I was in and I would dedicate my life to him. I can’t explain it, but that was a turning point in my life. A hope took root in the deepest part of me that sustains me even when life’s horrors seem overwhelming and impossible to overcome. It’s a peace I never knew before. A peace that surpasses understanding. It drives me forward even now, 15 years later. Sustains me. Makes me push myself to give more and more, examine myself more and more, admit my flaws and shortcomings, and pick myself back up to move though the pain and towards the light. I know this isn’t for everyone, and that’s fine. It’s my story of finding hope and peace and I wanted to put it out there for anyone who might need to hear it.”
