About This Podcast
Dr. Gladys Childs (the Truth Doctor) is a Christian speaker and author of Chasing Emptiness, Finding Fullness.
As Christians, we often feel alone in the hard places—facing deep pain, doubt, shame, betrayal, and unfinished seasons. But you’re not alone.
I’m the friend who won’t leave you stuck in the tough middle space. Each week, we dive into faith that holds up in real life. No surface-level talk. No filters. No easy answers.
Hard questions. Honest hope. Jesus in it all. Come with me as we face it head-on and discover the place where raw faith and deep pain meet a relentless God.
