In this live episode, we discuss why people leave, the fear and emotional struggles that often come with that decision, and the challenges of navigating relationships and rebuilding life afterward. As we wrap up Season 3 of Grace Escape, we also reflect on 3 years of the podcast, share our own experiences, and hear from others who have walked this road. Whether you're questioning, preparing to leave, or still finding your way after leaving, we hope this conversation reminds you that you're not alone, and that your hope and security rest in Jesus Christ, who saves and never abandons His own.\nFor I am sure that neither death nor life, nor angels nor rulers, nor things present nor things to come, nor powers, nor height nor depth, nor anything else in all creation, will be able to separate us from the love of God in Christ Jesus our Lord. - Romans 8:38-39 ESV\n\nLast Episode:\nWhen Preachers Become Legends | Pentecostalism's Apostle Problem \u2013 EP147 - https:\/\/youtu.be\/ZZgn7ONmUpc\n\nShow Links:\nMatthew Tuttle - \u201cbecause they\u2019re hurt\u201d - https:\/\/youtu.be\/a-buVU9IwLc?si=9A8U09UWyop01uh_&amp;t=1600\nMatthew Tuttle - \u201cit\u2019s how we dress\u201d - https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/live\/6JWEBg0FAu4?si=KFmxVDghW94fs8JP&amp;t=1087\nDillon Morgan - \u201cdon\u2019t leave the truth!\u201d - https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/live\/Q9qftD5EZN8?si=n3AeIF-Y0zFcec2r&amp;t=1783\nCapital Community Church - \u201cserving God = going to church\u201d - https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/live\/nT015pA-tM8?si=0ZYDrknlbpEpQOps&amp;t=4010\nAaron Bounds - \u201cdon\u2019t leave the church!\u201d - https:\/\/youtu.be\/Rr_mhiS8soM?si=pXppm00DByKb62EN&amp;t=1453\nTaylor Fish - \u201cthat\u2019s not the will of God\u201d - https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=1AV3-GcnLu8&amp;t=1438s\nAnita Wade\u2019s Interview - \u201cLeaving UPCI\u201d - https:\/\/youtu.be\/LrU7S4GZ_nk?si=IBxZzZgBJzg_6e0b\n\nPlaylists:\nGrace Escape - Full Playlist  - https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/playlist?list=PL1aRj7l1t4f9ERikAYlc4GW3U04LgI0uW\nHoliness Standards - https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/playlist?list=PL1aRj7l1t4f9mstgSEcS7VDrX2J4PHmzl\nThe Church Building - https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/playlist?list=PL1aRj7l1t4f-xWOOZI8ygTa2bjHotSzfh\nExamining Pentecostalism - https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/playlist?list=PL1aRj7l1t4f-wcgovpsEwfpV02tWpwXAZ\nThe \u201cMOG\u201d (Man of God) - https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/playlist?list=PL1aRj7l1t4f-AZ-6O6CQ3auiF-jddjuQa\nAll About The Money - https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/playlist?list=PL1aRj7l1t4f_vExBRUMQRIxqgbFexAMQv\nAbuse In The Pulpit - https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/playlist?list=PL1aRj7l1t4f9EyN7gNkHFxr19loK8MthL\nAddressing NAYC Comments - https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/playlist?list=PL1aRj7l1t4f8j9Oqo1ut5FKw65XnV0RFj\nFEAR!!!
