Christy encourages her listeners to rethink the way they see God. Often when we have experienced spiritual abuse in a church or an organization, the god they represent is angry, has specific expectations for us, condemns and rejects, and likes us better when we behave. Christy wonders if this god is more of a representation of the leaders than the Real One.

She reminds her listeners that if God is real (and she believes He is) we don't get to decide who He is, we just get to discover Him. Often we make god into our image instead of recognizing that He is nothing like us. We were just made to be a little like Him.

Rethinking Faith
Religious Rebels
Christy Lynne Wood spent a decade in Bill Gothard's Institute in Basic Life Principles (as seen on Amazon Prime's "Shiny Happy People" documentary series). Homeschooled in this Christian cult, Christy was a good girl following the rules until Jesus unexpectedly showed up and changed everything.
As Christy got to know Jesus for herself, she began to recognize that the God she knew and the god her cult talked about couldn't be the same God. Once the good girl following the rules, Christy felt a strange rebellion creeping into her heart. But it wasn't rock music, college, or blue jeans that was turning her into a rebel (like she'd been warned), it was Jesus.
Twenty years later, Christy is still passionate about discovering truth, destroying lies, exposing religious Christianity, and helping others find a thriving relationship with the Real Jesus.
