Before she learned to trust herself, she was taught to fear God—told she was born a sinner, that her thoughts were dangerous, that she had no rights or say about what was done to her body, and that salvation required surrender to a jealous, vengeful, yet merciful God.
It was a divine contradiction that never truly made sense, yet it shaped everything she believed about herself, love, and truth.
This prelude to The Cost of Silence uncovers the roots of spiritual fear—how shame can be disguised as righteousness, and guilt wielded as a tool of control. Through deeply personal storytelling, Jacqueline invites listeners to examine the silent messages they were given about God, obedience, and worth.
For anyone who has felt punished for questioning, unworthy of love unless they obeyed, or silenced by doctrine that never aligned with their soul, this episode offers both recognition and release.
It’s not just about deconstructing faith—it’s about reclaiming the sacred within. About remembering that your worth was never conditional. And about ending the cost of silence, one truth at a time.
🎙 Listen, reflect, and share—because your story might be the spark that helps someone else find their voice.
