About the show

Welcome to Unfiltered Faith—the podcast where we strip away the picture-perfect version of faith and get real about the messy, raw, and sometimes uncomfortable journey of believing. We don't avoid the hard questions or pretend faith is always neat and tidy. Instead, we wrestle with doubts, talk about the struggles, and dig into what it really means to walk with God—unfiltered. No clichés. No easy answers. Just honest conversations about faith, life, and everything in between. P.S. This is a space for real talk, which means we sometimes discuss topics like sex, doubt, and the struggles of faith. Our guests are on different journeys, so you might hear some cussing. If little ears are around, consider grabbing headphones.
