Never Perfect Faith

About Never Perfect Faith

I am a psychologist, wife and mother of three teenagers. Three years ago I started a mental health podcast, called Never Perfect with an ADHD psychologist . It comforts me greatly to know that life is never going to be perfect, and we all struggle navigating this complicated life. As a Christian, my faith is one of my biggest struggles but it gives me more hope and peace than anything else. Being still and tapping into the unseen may be the most important thing we ever do, yet is one of my biggest challenges in life, Christians should be the most humble, compassionate and loving people, if they are modeling their lives after Jesus, and yet many aren’t. So many people are understandably turned off by Christians who are judging, self-righteous, or cold ( some call these people “assholes” and wonder if they’re actually Christians), and I am personally sad and angry about this, because Jesus was none of these things. Other people won’t crack open the Bible or the doors of the church, and many have misconceptions about what faith is or what it looks like. In this podcast, I will be interviewing people who are real and relatable Christians who represent Jesus well (in my opinion) and also sharing things that have inspired me and strengthened my faith and spark flames in my soul, from verses, passages, or stories to interviews with pastors, friends, and just anyone who inspires me to greater faith.

   Drifting from God, and Coming Back Again: Quincy and KJ on Faith, Purpose, and Real Change

   Have you ever felt yourself drifting from something you knew was true, only to be pulled back at exactly the right moment? KJ never stopped believing, but he got distracted, until a coworker's simple invitation on a car lot changed everything. In this conversation, two lifelong friends sit down to talk about what it really means to be found by God. Dr. Beth welcomes Quincy back to the Never Perfect Faith Podcast, this time joined by his childhood friend KJ. The two reconnected years after growing up together, and quickly realized they now share the same deep passion for faith and scripture. Together they explore the unseen spiritual world, the reality of temptation and distraction, and what it looks like to come home to God after wandering. It's a warm, honest, and thought-provoking discussion about grace, purpose, and living from the right motives rather than for reward. What You'll Learn How God often works through unexpected people and perfect timing to call us back to Him Why the spiritual world may be more real than the physical one, and how to recognize its influence The difference between earning salvation and receiving it as a free gift Why your intent and heart matter more than doing good deeds for recognition or reward What the prodigal son story teaches about grace, appreciation, and being seen by God Encouragement for anyone who feels they've drifted too far to come back About the Guests KJ is a content creator, entrepreneur, and freight broker who built a following through his comedy and security-guard skits before feeling called to use his platform to share his faith. He is an active member of a worldwide Bible study community. Quincy is a Navy veteran and addiction survivor who now shares his story to encourage others, and is studying social work with the goal of becoming an addiction therapist. He runs Manifest Getaways LLC, a pressure washing business serving the Chattanooga and Dalton areas.

   Redeemed From the Pit: A Suicide Plan, a Wife's Words, and a Brand-New Heart

   Craig had done everything a "good Christian" is supposed to do: walked the aisle, been baptized, gone to church every Sunday. So why, standing in a pit of total despair with a plan to end his life, did he feel completely alone? In this episode, Craig makes a startling discovery: he had all the knowledge of faith and none of the heart. This is the story of what happened next. On this second part of the conversation (the first is on the Never Perfect podcast), Dr. Beth Capecchi picks up right where she left off with Craig and his wife Cindy to explore the spiritual turning point that changed everything. In October 2024, moments from taking his own life, Craig was stopped by seven simple words from Cindy, and six days later came a realization that led to genuine repentance, a transformed heart, and a faith that finally became real. It's an honest, theologically rich conversation about the difference between knowing about God and truly knowing Him. What You'll Learn: The crucial difference between intellectual, "check-the-box" religion and a living relationship with God What true repentance actually means and why it's an "about-face," not just feeling sorry How Craig moved from a "heart of stone" to a "heart of flesh," and what real transformation looks like Why willpower alone can't break addiction or change a life and what can Practical ways to make Scripture and prayer come alive, including praying through the Psalms and meditating verse by verse The quiet, powerful role of a praying spouse who never gave up About the Guest: Craig is a longtime pharmacist and former career firefighter who, after decades of a hidden double life, experienced a dramatic conversion in the wake of PTSD and a suicide crisis. Now a seminary student, he's devoted to studying Scripture and sharing how God met him at his lowest point. He shares his story alongside Cindy, his wife of forty years, whose faithfulness became the thread God used to reach him. Whether your faith feels distant, dutiful, or you're just wondering what you might be missing, Craig's story is a reminder that it's never too late for a new heart. Take a listen, sit with it, and share it with someone who needs to hear that no one is beyond redemption.

   Hidden Addictions and Heartaches: Jody Allen on Faith, Forgiveness, and Finding Hope after Divorce

   Hidden heartaches and secret struggles with addiction are everywhere, including in the church.  What if the family that looks the most "put together" on Sunday morning is the one quietly falling apart by Monday night? Behind matching pajamas, anniversary posts, and small-group Bible studies, so many women are carrying a secret heartache they can't bring themselves to name out loud. In this honest, hope-filled conversation, Dr. Beth sits down with author and women's ministry director Jody Allen to talk about what happens when the marriage you prayed for, prepared for, and did "everything right" to build still doesn't turn out the way you imagined. Jody shares the long, painful road of loving a husband who battled a pornography addiction throughout their marriage, a struggle she discovered was far more common in the church than anyone wanted to admit. From discovery, to counseling, to a treatment center, to the eventual decision to divorce, Jody walks listeners through what God taught her in the valley, why she chose to write Hidden Heartache, and how she found that her life, though different than she planned, could still be deeply good. What You'll Learn: Why so many "hidden heartaches" — addiction, financial stress, mental health struggles, family secrets — worsen in silence, and how telling the truth begins to break shame's grip The staggering statistics about pornography use in the church (including among pastors) and why this conversation can't stay taboo any longer How to parent intentionally around screens, social media, and early exposure especially when you've walked a hard road yourself Why "comparison is the thief of joy," and how to stop measuring your hardships/heartaches against everyone else's highlight reel The role of Scripture, the Holy Spirit, and Christian community in rewiring a brain and a heart that has been hurt Why hope is still possible when life doesn't turn out the way you planned, and how God can use even your hardest season to build your future About the Guest Jody Allen has served on staff at her church for over 12 years, where she leads the First Impressions Team and Women’s Ministry. She is the author of Hidden Heartache: Finding Courage When Your Husband Struggles with Pornography, a book that helps women move from heartbreak to hope. Jody is passionate about helping women experience meaningful connection with Christ and with one another. She is the mom of young adult twins, loves chunky ice cream, still uses a paper calendar, and never turns down a chance to line dance.
