Leaving the Church: Tirzah’s Brave Journey Through Religious Trauma and Spiritual Awakening with Jen Anderson & Tirzah Adrian

n this powerful and deeply vulnerable episode, Tirzah opens her heart to share her spiritual journey—from being raised in a strict Baptist household and homeschooled within a deeply religious framework, to navigating the inner turmoil of reconciling natural desires with teachings that labeled them sinful. With raw honesty, she reflects on how this shaped her self-image, her relationship with God, and her eventual decision to leave the church.

Tirzah speaks bravely about the emotional weight of walking away from a faith tradition she once loved, and the fear of hurting her family in the process. She shares how her friendship with Jim (now her husband) and the support of her brother helped her find clarity and courage. Through years of inner work, transformative books, and soul-deep reflection, she began to release the fear of eternal punishment and embrace a more loving, expansive view of spirituality.

We talk about the pain of religious trauma, the fear of death, and the liberation that comes from choosing your own truth. Tirzah’s story is a testament to the courage it takes to unlearn, to heal, and to love your past without being bound by it. Together, we explore the power of letting others walk their own path, staying grounded in your own frequency, and redefining what it means to live in alignment with your soul. This is a rich and tender conversation about freedom, faith, and fierce self-honoring.
