Perfectly Imperfect: Loving an Addict, Letting Go of Control, and Finding Freedom to Fail with Deanna Shriver | S1 Ep5

In this vulnerable episode, Deanna shares how her “yes” to God through Freedom in Christ became the turning point in a life that looked put-together on the outside but was quietly falling apart within.

She opens up about the pain of a broken marriage, the weight of codependency, and the years she spent trying to hold everything together while feeling completely alone.

Her story takes us through so much loss—her father, her ex-husband, her childhood friend, and a loved one lost to suicide—and how Jesus gently met her in each moment of grief, giving her glimpses of peace and healing she didn’t think were possible.

Through it all, Deanna discovered the freedom to stop pretending and the courage to be fully herself: perfectly imperfect.

Her message is clear—our worn places don’t disqualify us. In fact, they are often where Jesus meets us most tenderly and turns our pain into something worthy.
