Episode notes

Elaina continues her story, growing up in a strict, fear-based home where discipline, demons, and God were all tangled together, and how that shaped her earliest sense of safety and self. She talks candidly about the fear that defined her childhood, the distance in her relationship with her father, and the turning point when she left for Bible college in Texas, finding community and joy for the first time, even as her understanding of God began to change.
