Episode Description

When the Church avoids the hard conversations, people stay bound in silence.

In this raw and transparent episode of the adJUSTments Podcast, host Justmic sits down with Christian artist Dezzy Yates to pull back the curtain on hidden sin, early life trauma, and the internal battles many believers face in private. This isn't just a talk about behavior; it’s a deep dive into how unaddressed struggles shape our identity, faith, and purpose.

Through personal testimony, we explore why surface-level changes aren't enough and why true freedom requires addressing root issues through confession, accountability, and a deepening intimacy with Christ.
