<p>In this powerful and deeply necessary conversation, I sit down with Kyle Howard, a Christian care provider and public theologian known for his work in helping survivors identify and heal from spiritual abuse and racial trauma within the church. Through trauma-informed soul care, Kyle has become a trusted voice in exposing the misuse of spiritual authority and helping people reclaim their faith and agency.</p><p>Together, we unpack his personal journey as a former leader within a church connected to the Southern Baptist Convention, his experiences with suicidality, and the patterns he’s seen in his counseling work, particularly among wives of pastors and ministry leaders. We explore difficult but important questions: How is spiritual authority often weaponized? Can a relationship with someone in spiritual authority over you ever be truly consensual? And what does spiritual abuse actually look like?</p><p>We also break down the warning signs of toxic church environments, the subtle red flags many people overlook, and practical wisdom for protecting yourself from harmful spiritual systems. If you’ve ever wrestled with church hurt, religious manipulation, or the tension between faith and trauma, I believe this conversation will offer language, clarity, and hope for healing.</p><p><br></p><p>Spotify: http://bit.ly/4eV1Gq1</p><p>Apple: </p><p>Youtube: https://youtu.be/b3Xc0quRfis</p>

<p>Here’s a fuller podcast description you can use for episode notes, YouTube, Spotify, or promotion:</p><p>In this powerful episode of Seen and Known, I sit down with my dear friend Ronaldo Hardy—pastor of Love Alive Church in Baton Rouge, entrepreneur, former Credit Union CEO, husband, and father—for an honest conversation about grief, faith, and rebuilding your life after devastating loss.</p><p>While many know Ronaldo for his leadership and success, few know the deeply personal journey he walked after losing his mother during the height of COVID. In the midst of heartbreak and emotional exhaustion, Ronaldo found himself questioning long-held beliefs, confronting disappointment, and beginning the difficult process of faith reconstruction and spiritual formation.</p><p>Together, we unpack what it looks like to grieve not only a person you love, but also the life you thought you would have. Ronaldo shares openly about navigating loss while leading others, wrestling with God in painful seasons, and discovering a more authentic and grounded faith on the other side.</p><p>This episode is for anyone who has lost a parent, experienced deep grief, struggled with disappointment, or felt disconnected from the version of faith they once knew. It’s raw, healing, thoughtful, and full of hope.</p><p>You do not want to miss this conversation.</p><p><br></p><p>Apple Podcasts: </p><p>Youtube: </p>

<p>In this deeply moving episode of Seen and Known, we sit down with Brooke McCrink as she courageously shares a story marked by love, heartbreak, grief, and ultimately, redemption.</p><p>Brooke opens up about the reality of being married to someone battling addiction and navigating the pain of infidelity—two experiences that can quietly break a person from the inside out. She gives voice to the complexity of loving someone through their struggles while also wrestling with her own hurt, confusion, and unmet needs.</p><p>But her story takes an even more devastating turn with the loss of her husband. Suddenly, Brook found herself carrying the weight of grief while still showing up for her children—having to bury the man she once loved, process the life they had, and find the strength to move forward in the midst of unimaginable pain.</p><p>In this conversation, we don’t rush past the hard parts. Brook walks us through the tension of those years—the questions, the anger, the sorrow, and the moments where God felt distant. Yet, even in the darkest places, she began to encounter God in a deeper, more intimate way.</p><p>Now, on the other side of that season, Brooke shares how God has been faithfully rewriting her story. She speaks about healing, restoration, and the beauty of her new chapter with her husband Damian as they build a blended family rooted in love, grace, and intentionality.</p><p>This episode is for anyone who has ever wrestled with disappointment, loss, or the question: “Where is God in all of this?” Brooke’s story is a powerful reminder that even when life doesn’t look good, God is still good, and He is always at work, writing a story far greater than we can see.</p><p>Whether you’re walking through grief, healing from betrayal, or simply holding onto hope for what’s next, this conversation will meet you right where you are.</p><p>Spotify: https://bit.ly/4vuzlOU</p><p>Apple Podcasts: </p><p>Youtube: </p>
