Choosing Faith Over Culture: Navigating Identity, Family Expectations and Money

Описание: What happens when your cultural identity and your faith start pulling you in different directions?

In this episode of The Raw Faith Podcast, host Marlyn and her friend Stefanie open up about the real-life tension between honoring your roots and fully surrendering to God. From family expectations to unspoken guilt around money, tithing, and generosity — nothing is off limits.

They unpack:
The struggle of letting go of identity built on culture or tradition
Why it’s hard — but necessary — to root your identity in Christ
The challenging conversation around money and tithing
How to find and build faith community across cultural lines

This episode is an honest reminder that faith isn’t about abandoning where you came from — it’s about letting God define who you’re becoming.
