Roots of Healing: Rewired and Redeemed

The Breastplate of Righteousness: Counterfeit Armor

We never recorded the episode on the breastplate of righteousness. Life made sure we lived it first. In this episode, we explore what Paul meant when he told believers to stand and put on the breastplate of righteousness (Ephesians 6:14). Not as moral performance. Not as self-protection disguised as wisdom. But as right alignment—with God, with truth, and with responsibility. Drawing from lived experience, we talk about the quiet ways loyalty can turn into self-abandonment, how boundaries can become an act of righteousness, and why real armor doesn’t hide, disappear, or harden the heart. We look at the difference between armor and walls, discernment and avoidance, integrity and control—and how Scripture calls us to remain present, truthful, and grounded even when relationships become complicated. Because righteousness doesn’t chase. It doesn’t punish. And it doesn’t hide. It stands. Scripture referenced (NRSV): Ephesians 6:14 Galatians 6:5 Romans 12:18

From Fake Fruit to Refined Fire: Rewriting Our Narrative and Awakening in Faith

Don’t Fake It, Faith It is a podcast for survivors of abuse, toxic relationships, divorce, and church hurt who are ready to stop pretending and start healing—with grit, grace, and God. It’s where we talk honestly about trauma, recovery, faith, and what it means to rebuild a life that’s both holy and whole. No more faking fine—this is about active faith, not passive survival. Rooted in Scripture, seasoned with real talk, and soaked in hope, this space is for those who feel like outsiders in traditional Christian circles. We honor truth over tradition, healing over hiding, and the kind of faith that stands up, even with shaking knees. If you’ve ever been told to “just pray it away,” this is your permission to pray, process, and rise.
