Reconstruction doesn’t always come with clarity.

Sometimes it comes with silence, tension, and questions that don’t resolve quickly.

And in those moments, many of us quietly wonder:

What if something is wrong with me?

In this episode of Sacred + Unfiltered, Genesis sits with the uncomfortable in-between — the space after deconstruction but before certainty returns. Through Scripture, lived experience, and honest reflection, this episode explores a biblical truth we don’t hear enough:

Uncertainty does not equal unfaithfulness.

From David’s unanswered cries, to Habakkuk’s waiting, to Job’s unresolved suffering, Scripture reveals that faith has always made room for tension, delay, and unanswered questions.

If your faith feels quieter right now…

If answers are slow…

If you’re learning how to trust God without forcing resolution…

This episode is for you.

Deconstruction is only half the story.In this New Year episode of Sacred + Unfiltered, Genesis invites you into the often-ignored next step of the faith journey: reconstruction. Not the shiny, performative kind. Not the kind that rushes you back into systems that broke you. But the slow, sacred work of rebuilding belief with intention, discernment, and truth.This episode sits at the intersection of grief and hope, loss and longing, tearing down and building again. We explore why deconstruction without reconstruction can leave us spiritually homeless—and why Scripture itself models a God who dismantles in order to restore.Rooted in biblical context, theological reflection, and lived experience, this conversation unpacks:- Why questioning your faith doesn’t mean abandoning it- How reconstruction differs from re-indoctrination- What Jesus, Paul, and the early Church reveal about rebuilding belief after rupture- And how to begin reconstructing a faith that can actually hold youThis episode also marks the reintroduction of the Sacred + Unfiltered: Live Experience, setting the foundation for deeper conversations, shared wrestling, and communal healing in the season ahead.If you’ve torn things down…If you’ve been standing in the rubble…If you’re ready to build again—this episode is for you.Because faith doesn’t end when things fall apart.Sometimes, that’s exactly where it begins.📲 Follow Sacred + Unfiltered - Instagram/TikTok:@sacredunfiltered📺 Subscribe on YouTube🎧 Listen on all podcast platforms⭐️ If you're listening on Apple or Spotify, please rate, review, and follow the show - it helps this conversation reach who needs it.Powered by: The Plug Network Season 2 Sponsor: 9th Crown

In this episode of Sacred + Unfiltered, Genesis unpacks how “fornication” became a threat instead of a teaching, how shame was passed down as theology, and how fear quietly replaced discipleship.

This conversation explores:

• ​The cultural memory Black churches inherited around sex and respectability
• ​How Scripture — especially Romans 1 — has been misused to police bodies instead of disciple hearts
• ​The shame economy that benefits from silence and secrecy
• ​The double standards that traumatized queer believers and invisible bodies
• ​And a deeper, more faithful theology of embodiment, desire, and grace

This is not a debate episode.

This is a deconstruction of fear-based faith — and an invitation into wholeness.

Because God is not threatened by your honesty.

And holiness was never meant to cost you your humanity.

In this episode of Sacred + Unfiltered, Genesis breaks down how grooming shows up in Black church spaces — not just sexually, but emotionally, spiritually, and relationally. We explore how history, honor culture, power dynamics, and spiritual language have created environments where manipulation can thrive under the guise of “calling,” “covering,” and “mentorship.”

This episode holds space for cultural context, biblical clarity, and real healing — without burning the church down.

If you’ve ever felt confused, silenced, or blamed for discomfort in church leadership relationships… this episode is for you.

We’re not attacking God.

We’re cleaning house.

This week on Sacred + Unfiltered, Genesis hits pause — not because she wants to, but because sometimes life reminds us to breathe.

So today, we’re taking a moment to reset, reflect, and get grounded together. We talk honestly about grief, life interruptions, and the importance of stepping into hard conversations with intention.

Consider this episode the calm before the next two storms: Episode 6 on grooming in the Black church and Episode 7 on sexuality, shame, and desire in faith spaces.

This isn’t a throwaway — it’s a chance to breathe, recalibrate, and prepare for the truth-telling that’s coming.

In this episode, we’re pulling back the curtain on how belief became a business.

From Malachi 3:8 being used as a spiritual invoice to the rise of pay-to-pray culture, Genesis breaks down how access to God slowly turned into a product — and why so many of us didn’t question it sooner.

This conversation sits in the tension between honoring God and unlearning the systems that monetized Him.

If you’ve ever felt like faith came with a price tag, this one is for you.

This week, we’re talking about what happens when the faith you inherited stops aligning with the God you’re actually encountering. We’re digging into scripture, story, culture, and the messy middle of discovering God for yourself — outside of pressure, perfectionism, and denominational expectations.

If you’ve ever questioned what you were taught, felt disconnected from the systems you grew up in, or wondered why relationship feels different from religion, this episode will meet you right where you are.

Some of us aren’t breaking away from God — we’re breaking away from the version of Him that religion handed down.

In this episode, Genesis gets real about what it means to confront the inherited beliefs that shaped how we saw God, ourselves, and our worth. From fear-based faith to freedom in relationship, this conversation dives deep into the tension between tradition and truth.

Because sometimes healing isn’t about walking away from faith… it’s about finding God beyond the rules, the rituals, and the generational expectations that never made room for grace.

This one’s for the ones who love Jesus but refuse to lose themselves doing it “their way.”
