What happens when shame keeps you from drawing near to God—and how do you find your way back?

In this episode of the Faith Conversations Podcast, Jessica Cabrera interviews Kristen Stockton, who shares her journey from striving and self-reliance to experiencing God’s restoring grace and love.

After facing emotional, financial, and relational challenges, Kristen realized shame had been keeping her distant from God. Through Scripture, community, and a renewed understanding of God’s grace, she discovered she didn’t need to earn His love—she already had it.

Now, Kristen helps lead women toward restoration, encouraging them to draw near to God to restore, rebuild, and rise.
