Episode Transcript

Speaker 1 (00:04):
Are you looking to carve out your own spiritual path
and connect with a higher power. Maybe you're on a
quest for meaning, purpose, or a sense of belonging. Perhaps
you grew up in a religion that doesn't quite align
with who you are now, Or maybe you've lost your
connection to God and want to find your way back.
Or if you're like a lot of people, you're simply

(00:25):
trying to make sense of a world that sometimes seems
overwhelming and confusing. Welcome to What's God Got to Do
with It? A podcast that's anything but preachy, but will
cut through the noise and leave you transformed and uplifted.
It's a fresh and relatable take on spirituality and faith.
Imagine this as skeptical, Bacon loving Hebrew speaking Jew wrestling

(00:47):
with her own beliefs who set out on a quest
to discover her own faith. I'm Leanne Ellington, your guide
on this incredible adventure, and I'm here to share my
unconventional journey with you. It all started with an experience
that transformed my life, losing one hundred pounds and facing
a series of quarter life crises that made me realize

(01:09):
there had to be more to life than obsessing over
my body or desperately trying to strive, hustle or achieve
my way to worthiness. And that's when it hit me,
the thought first whispered in my heart. I think I
might want God, but I didn't want to go back
to the old days of temple and rabbi sermons. I
yearned for something different, something that spoke to me now.

(01:32):
So I sought out a non denominational church in the
vibrant city of Nashville, Tennessee. And what I found there
was nothing short of miraculous. But here's the thing I discovered.
There was a void for me in the spiritual landscape.
There was nothing out there that met me in my skepticism, doubt,
and curiosity about all aspects of life, the ones that

(01:55):
seemingly had nothing to do with God. Little did I know,
I found God in all of it, in every area
of my life, in every deep and dark corner of
my existence. This God guy that everyone else was talking about,
that I had never met and frankly never cared to meet,
suddenly appeared to me and revealed, completed, and healed parts

(02:18):
of my story I didn't even know needed those things.
I found God in places I never expected and never
even knew to look, and that's how What's God Got
to Do With It? Was born. This podcast was specifically
designed to be a place where you can meet yourself
exactly where you are on your own journey, without judgment

(02:38):
or shame, without trying to convince or coerce or persuade
you into anything, and without worrying about whether you're doing
it air quotes right. It's your spiritual safe space where
skepticism and doubt are welcome. It's a place where faith
meets science and miracles meet real life, all while inviting
you into the conversation that your heart, soul, and spirit

(03:00):
is hungry for. Each episode, I'll share my personal stories
from the moments of doubt to the moments of profound connection,
the good, the bad, and the ugly, and invite you
to go on your own personal spiritual ride. And I
won't be alone. We'll have conversations with powerful guests who
will share their insights and experiences, and I'll be introducing

(03:22):
you to my own guardian angels who have taught me,
guided me, and mentored me in my own What's God
Got to Do With It? Journey. Together, we'll explore how
to carve out our own spiritual paths and connect with
a higher power, and we'll find meaning, purpose and a
sense of belonging in a world that often feels overwhelming, isolating,

(03:42):
and confusing. I'm not here to teach theology, and i
am not here to try to convert you into anything.
This is about finding your own relationship with God so
you can step into the version of yourself you know
you are deep down inside, but might not be fully accessing.
And that's why, whether you're skeptical, curious, or simply looking

(04:04):
for some soul nourishing spiritual food, I truly believe that
what's God got to do with it has something for everyone.
So buckle up and get ready for an enlightening and
empowering ride that will leave you feeling renewed, inspired, and
spiritually found. And if you're wondering what's God got to
do with it, I'm here to tell you everything. Everything

(04:27):
you know, and everything you didn't know you didn't know
