S2 E8- No Rigid Rules: A Real Relationship With God

️ S2 E8 – No Rigid Rules: A Real Relationship With God

In this episode of Relational Trauma SOS, Jeni Brockbank invites listeners to explore what it means to cultivate an authentic and healing relationship with God.

For many survivors, rigid structures and formulas around spirituality can feel unsafe. Instead of checklists, this conversation leans into gentleness, curiosity, and freedom — encouraging a connection with the Divine that is safe, meaningful, and deeply personal.

Along the way, Jeni shares flexible pathways for spiritual connection such as prayer, music, movement, creativity, journaling, and sacred spaces. She also reads a powerful and vulnerable poem, “Shells” by Susan, which beautifully captures the longing, breaking, and tender rebuilding of relationship with God.

This episode is an invitation: not to do spirituality the “right way,” but to discover relationship with God that feels real, honest, and sustaining.
