What does it look like to worship God when you’re carrying shame, guilt, or unresolved pain?
In this powerful conversation, I sit down with Thomas Davis — Pastor and ministry leader of 20 years, currently pursuing his Master’s in Professional Counseling — to talk about authentic worship, emotional healing, and how our family-of-origin and past wounds shape the way we approach God.
Thomas shares his personal story of growing up in a performance-driven environment, the anxiety and striving that followed him into ministry, and how worship became a place where he encountered a loving God who accepts us as we are — no striving, no measuring up required.
We also dig deep into:
Worship when you’re carrying shame, guilt, or unresolved pain — and why authenticity is the sign of someone who’s not hiding from God.
Why Christians often feel uncomfortable with pain and suffering, and how counseling can help us embrace both.
The C.S. Lewis quote that reframes pain as God’s “megaphone to rouse a deaf world.”
What to say to a young adult who feels “not spiritually strong enough” or “not good enough” to approach God.
Performance-based faith — how dysfunctional or works-driven family dynamics can carry into our relationship with God.
How family systems theory and attachment theory reveal the link between our earthly relationships and how we relate to our Heavenly Father.
Why some people feel God’s love is conditional — and how to heal from that belief.
Practical steps to reconnect with worship when you feel spiritually numb or emotionally disconnected from God.
Thomas doesn’t shy away from the real and the raw — and if you’ve ever wrestled with distorted views of God, emotional disconnection, or trying to earn God’s love, this episode will speak directly to your heart.
Key Quote from Thomas:
“Worship provided an avenue for me to encounter a loving God who didn’t ask me to measure up, but accepted me anyway.”
