The story turns toward freedom, confession, and a rebuilt marriage rooted in grace. • Adventist roots and a home shaped by volatility and lectures • Seven-year church break and return through pastoral care • Marriage stress from silence and mismatched intimacy models • Porn as coping, failed quit cycles, and hidden shame • Birth of a son with Down syndrome and heavy caregiving • Burnout, depersonalization, and health crashes • A campfire revival where the good news becomes real • Confession, near collapse of the marriage, and a second chance • Grief for his father-in-law and renewed tenderness at home • Practical shifts in parenting, presence, and perspective 💰 DONATE & SUPPORT our Ministry: lovereality.org/give 👍 LIKE us on Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/alovereality 📷 FOLLOW us on Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/riyoung31/ 📚 LEARN more at our site: lovereality.org Join us for the best gathering on the internet, Internet Church.

    #251 Izzy: A Testimony Of Identity, Forgiveness, And Joy

    We trace Izzy’s journey from anxious validation-seeking to a settled identity in Christ, moving from an “okay gospel” to real freedom where feelings serve rather than rule.

    #250 Verna: How Letting Go Of Perfection Unlocked A Joyful Faith

    We share how a lifelong scorekeeping faith broke under the weight of grace and how salvation as a gift, not a contract, reshaped Verna’s story from control to freedom. The gospel shifts behavior from obligation to fruit, turning church culture into real communion. • upbringing in a strict, rule-focused faith culture • marriage, family conflict, and a move to Michigan • a welcoming church community and inclusive worship • parenting insights shifting from behavior to heart • resisting leadership roles due to performance fear • preaching that led to personal breakthrough in Scripture • salvation as gift versus debtor’s ethic and contracts • freedom, assurance, and a renewed identity in Christ • mentoring students and friends toward gospel clarity 💰 DONATE & SUPPORT our Ministry: lovereality.org/give 👍 LIKE us on Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/alovereality 📷 FOLLOW us on Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/riyoung31/ 📚 LEARN more at our site: lovereality.org Join us for the best gathering on the internet, Internet Church.

    #249 Ariana: Feelings Aren’t Lord, But They Sure Tried To Be

    We trace Ariana’s path from a small-town church and a turbulent home to anxiety, addiction, striving, and finally a clear identity in Christ. A Friday night with Scripture and a single line—“feelings aren’t Lord”—becomes the hinge that shifts her marriage, her mind, and her future. • growing up Adventist in Mankato amid family alcoholism and divorce • public school pressures, validation through dating, and early boundaries with substances • academy years of rules, comparison, and a hunger for real faith • college loneliness, intentional dating, marriage, and vocational twists • hidden pornography struggle, cycles of confession, shame, and effort • long commutes with the Bible, reframing Old Testament lives, asking harder questions • testimonies and Wave clips leading to the key insight: feelings aren’t Lord • practicing truth-telling over stored lies and reframing identity in Christ • freedom from addiction, anxiety, and depression by rooting identity in Jesus • how marriage dynamics changed when identity shifted from feelings to Christ 💰 DONATE & SUPPORT our Ministry: lovereality.org/give 👍 LIKE us on Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/alovereality 📷 FOLLOW us on Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/riyoung31/ 📚 LEARN more at our site: lovereality.org Join us for the best gathering on the internet, Internet Church.

    #247 Rest Starts Here
