Shownotes

You want to show up to church, but you feel like you don’t belong.

Too messy. Too broken. Too far from “together.”

Devin remembers walking into church for the first time, sober but still smoking, surrounded by families who looked like they had it all figured out. She felt like Raggedy Ann in a room full of Easter dresses and ironed shirts.

That feeling—I’m not good enough to be here—isn’t just familiar. It’s a lie.

And it’s one that keeps too many people from stepping out in faith.

In this episode, Devin gets honest about:

  1. Why showing up might feel like the hardest step
  2. The lie that says you have to “clean up” before you come
  3. The truth about why your place in church is already yours

Scripture (NIV):

Romans 5:8 – “But God demonstrates his own love for us in this: While we were still sinners, Christ died for us.”
