What does it mean to grow up in the church while trying to discover who you really are? In this deeply personal solo episode, Erica Rawls opens up about life as a preacher’s kid, the pressure to be perfect, the unspoken rules, and the quiet rebellion it often sparks.

From questioning what makes someone a “sinner” to redefining faith on her own terms, Erica shares real moments from her teenage years, her journey through college, and the healing power of honest conversations.

This episode is for anyone who grew up feeling like they had to hide parts of themselves just to belong. Whether you’re a PK or simply someone trying to reconcile your faith with your identity, Erica reminds you that grace is available, and you are not alone.
