Ep. 31 Authenticity w/ Matthew Berthot

In this deeply moving episode of Evolve Through God, Angela welcomes her partner, Matthew Berthot, for a powerful conversation about faith, shame, grace, and what it truly means to live in communion with God.
 
From his early years in a Lutheran church to a life of teaching, performance, and spiritual mentorship, Matt shares how his relationship with God evolved beyond discipline and doctrine into deep, intimate connection. Through candid stories and vulnerable reflections, he explores how confession, surrender, and spiritual identity shaped his journey.
 
Matt also reveals how his gift of voice—first as a singer and now as a coach—has become a sacred tool in his ministry. This episode is both a testimony and a teaching moment for anyone ready to shed shame, reclaim purpose, and recognize the divine within.
 
Key Themes:
Moving from religion to relationship with God
The sacredness of confession and emotional release
How spiritual mentors can both guide and mislead
Listening for God in quiet moments, nature, and music
Honoring voice and expression as divine gifts
Letting go of performance to serve with presence
 
✨ Lessons from Matt
God is already here—no middleman required.You don’t need a church, priest, or perfection to commune with God. He meets you exactly where you are.
Shame dissolves in the light of confession.When we share our struggles with someone who holds light, we allow God’s grace to replace guilt.
You are already forgiven.Matt’s realization that the cross already covered his sins freed him from self-punishment and striving.
Your voice is sacred.Each person’s voice carries the unique imprint of their journey—it’s a divine instrument, not just for speech, but for healing.
Your purpose is people.Matt’s clarity came when he asked, “Who can I serve today?” not “What do I need to do today?”

Ep. 30 Assault w/ Liz Szporn

Welcome to EVOLVE Thru God!  I would love it if you would spread the word - like, follow, share, and introduce EVOLVE thru God to people you know who are seeking in their own journey!
 
In this powerful episode of Evolve Thru God, Angela sits down with Liz Szporn—a businesswoman, mother, and survivor—who shares the deeply personal story of how her early faith was shattered by sexual abuse at a Christian camp and how, decades later, she found her way back to God.
 
Liz opens up about the betrayal she experienced as a teenager at the hands of a camp director, the institutional cover-up that followed, and the long legal battle her family fought to expose the truth. But this is not a story of victimhood—it’s one of radical healing, spiritual reclamation, and courageous advocacy.
 
Through tears, laughter, and raw honesty, Liz recounts the winding road that led her to reconnect with God—not in church pews, but in nature, music, and daily prayer with a trusted circle of women. Her story is a profound reminder that even in our darkest seasons, redemption is possible—and that God never stops reaching for us.
 
If you or someone you know is a survivor, this episode will serve as both a balm and a beacon.
 
🌱 Lessons We Learn from Liz
Spiritual Abuse Leaves Deep Wounds—but They Can HealLiz’s assault didn’t just harm her body—it severed her connection to God. Rebuilding that relationship required time, honesty, and an entirely new spiritual framework outside traditional religion.
God Doesn’t Abandon Us—Even When People DoDespite being silenced and shamed by those in positions of power, Liz’s story reminds us that God remains faithful. Her divine reconnection came through unexpected channels: poetry, music, and sacred community.
Telling the Truth Is a Form of Spiritual WarfareBreaking the silence wasn’t just personal healing—it was a public act of justice. Liz’s willingness to speak out carved a path for other survivors to reclaim their voice and power.
Forgiveness and Faith Are Not One-Time EventsLiz’s spiritual journey was nonlinear. Her faith was not restored in a single moment, but through many quiet ones—often accompanied by tears, laughter, and relentless honesty with herself and God.
Sacred Sisterhood Can Be SalvationThe daily group prayer Liz participates in became a lifeline. True healing often happens not in isolation, but in safe, spiritually grounded community.
There Is Glory in the GritLiz’s life testifies that redemption doesn’t erase the pain—it transforms it into purpose. Her story encourages us to find the divine even in life’s messiest places.

In Episode 26, Elizabeth shares her early life experiences, including her lack of exposure to Christianity until 2009, when her mother’s request to attend church prompted her exploration of faith. This marked the beginning of her relationship with God, which she later recognized had been present throughout her life. The conversation highlights the transformative impact of her faith on her personal growth and her commitment to helping others.
Elizabeth recounts her challenging childhood, characterized by her mother's struggles with mental health and the instability that followed their family’s financial difficulties. She describes the feelings of rejection and isolation she experienced, particularly during a time when they lost their home and moved to a low-income apartment. Despite these hardships, she formed a supportive friendship that helped her navigate her circumstances. Elizabeth's resilience is evident as she reflects on her journey from dropping out of school to finding employment and eventually discovering the possibility of higher education.
The conversation also delves into Elizabeth's tumultuous relationship with an abusive partner, which she ultimately escaped after recognizing the toxicity of the situation. She emphasizes the importance of seeking help and the unexpected support she received while raising her four children alone. Throughout her struggles, Elizabeth felt a divine presence guiding her, reinforcing her belief in the importance of recognizing unhealthy relationships and the strength required to overcome adversity.

______________________________________________________________________WHO IS ELIZABETH FORD?
 
Elizabeth Ford grew up in Reston, VA, where her early years were marked by hardship and hunger. At just seven years old, she experienced food insecurity firsthand when her babysitter—who often provided her only evening meal, a slice of hotdog on toast—turned her away because her mother couldn’t afford to pay. This moment was just the beginning of a childhood filled with instability and uncertainty.
Frequent evictions forced Elizabeth and her mother to move constantly, leaving her without a reliable source of nourishment and guidance. She often sat outside a local 7-Eleven, asking passersby for quarters to buy hotdogs or whatever food she could afford. With her mother struggling with mental health challenges, Elizabeth had to fend for herself in a community where resources like food pantries were nonexistent. By 19, she was homeless, living in a hotel learning how to survive on her own.
Without a stable home or support system, education took a backseat to survival. Elizabeth dropped out of high school after ninth grade, later earning her GED while working multiple jobs, often waiting tables and pulling double shifts just to secure a meal. During this period, she also endured a decade-long abusive marriage, unaware of what a healthy, loving relationship looked like, all while fighting to break free from the cycle of poverty.
Determined to rewrite her story, Elizabeth eventually became a single mother, balancing full-time work with online college courses. She earned a Bachelor of Science degree in IT with a specialization in Advanced Networking, which led to a successful career in IT security for the government and contractors. Yet, despite her professional achievements, her past struggles with hunger and hardship remained at the forefront of her mind, fueling her passion for change.
Today, Elizabeth is remarried and part of Free Life Church and a blended family with five children. She now devotes herself full-time to BetterALife, the nonprofit she founded to combat childhood hunger. Alongside her family, she works to expand the organization’s reach nationwide, ensuring that no child has to experience the same uncertainty she once faced. Through her dedication and resilience, she is transforming lives—one meal at a time.

She recounted formative moments, such as nightly prayers with her mother and her baptism at eight, which solidified her commitment to her faith. Despite the challenges she faced later in life, including a complicated relationship with her father, Nicole emphasized how her faith provided solace during difficult times.
Nicole elaborated on her father's charismatic yet manipulative nature, which significantly impacted her self-worth and family dynamics. She recalled a distressing childhood incident where her father claimed to have received a divine message about her mother's health, which left her feeling confused and pressured. This experience, along with her father's abrupt departure from the family, contributed to her emotional struggles. However, Nicole's faith deepened during these turbulent times, as she sought comfort in her relationship with God amidst the chaos.
The conversation also touched on Nicole's challenging journey to motherhood, marked by two miscarriages and a high-risk pregnancy. She described the emotional turmoil of her experiences, including a transformative moment of prayer that guided her decision-making regarding fertility treatment. After the birth of her daughter, Sophia, Nicole faced additional anxiety during a critical moment in the neonatal unit, which underscored the importance of attentive care. These experiences shaped her understanding of motherhood and the significance of faith in navigating life's challenges.
Throughout their dialogue, Nicole and Angela emphasized the importance of mindfulness and gratitude in their spiritual journeys. Nicole shared insights on maintaining a connection with God through daily practices and the beauty of nature, which she finds deeply inspiring.
