Living with purpose

“I was living 28 years of my life as a “Christian” doing the bare minimum. I have the typical story of growing up going to church on Sundays. I was taught to be kind, to love, and to forgive. I was taught to ask for forgiveness for my sins, that Jesus died for those sins and that I would hopefully one day be with him in heaven.
That’s basically all I knew of Christianity.
When I moved out as a young adult I decided church was no longer a priority. I could finally sleep in on Sundays. I spent 10 years of my adulthood not loving as I should, not forgiving as I should, only praying when times were tough, judging others for just about anything, living in sin with little regret….this list could be pages long.
My world came crashing down last August when my daughter was born 10 weeks early with many complications. I immediately starting blaming God. I think I even told him I hated him. I screamed at him. The anger I felt towards him was indescribable. How could he do this to her, to me, to us? Did I live a life so bad that I deserved this?
I ultimately felt like I was being punished.
My daughter spent 47 days fighting in the NICU. Her fight ended on October 3rd, 2021. She fought so hard. I felt so broken. I felt like an orphan. I felt completely disconnected from my life and from everything I knew about God.
I vowed to never speak to him again, nor did I feel I needed a God who would leave me deserted. It didn't take me long to knock on his door again. I needed him no matter how hard I pushed him away. My soul felt his presence even in the darkest time of my life. A few days after her passing I decided to talk to God, again. It was awkward. I felt ashamed of the hateful things I said to him during our last conversation. I asked God to take my sadness, my tears, my pain, the feeling of emptiness, my guilt, my sins, just take everything. In that same prayer I told God I trusted him and his plan for me. It was the most challenging conversation I've ever had. It was in that moment I felt someone hugging my heart and soul. I received signs from God shortly after that conversation. It took me 28 years of life to really start understanding his word, his promises, his love and that I need to appreciate that everyone around me has a story worth hearing.
I am so eager to learn his word, to learn how to live with purpose, to learn how to pray better, to love more, to care less about the little things, to forgive and etc. Your podcast has been my guidance. I feel enlightened after listening to an episode. I feel more confident in my faith because of y’all! I love the way you break down the lesson/conversation and how you bounce your thoughts and opinions off of each other, respectfully. I have decided to live my life with purpose for God, for my daughter and for all my brothers and sisters! Thank y’all for what you do, and for being a part of my spiritual journey! You must know that your words have helped change lives!❤️”Read full review »

“Was searching for a Christian Podcast and came across RTC and I’m stuck. Marc and Chris make me laugh. I probably get a lot of looks from other people while driving to work in the morning. Sometimes I think they already know what questions I might have before even asking. They cover so much and...”Read full review »

They answer tough questions in a biblical way and are real and easy to listen to. Thank you both for referencing verses to explain why you...”Read full review »
