Religion vs Relationship: How to Actually Know God Episode.
Episode Description:
In this introductory episode of Baby Steps with Christ, host Leigh Trupin—author of the award-winning book Dear New Believer, Love God—shares why this podcast exists and who it’s really for.
Although created with new believers in mind, this podcast is for anyone who has been conditioned to believe that knowing God is about rules, church attendance, Bible reading, or religious performance—rather than a personal relationship with Him.
Leigh opens up about her own journey: not growing up knowing God, believing Christianity was nothing more than expectations and religion, and trying to “do everything right” after encountering God—only to become overwhelmed, confused, and spiritually lost. What followed was a painful, life-altering spiritual battle that no church, book, or well-meaning advice could fix.
It was only when Leigh learned—directly from God—that relationship comes first, that real healing and understanding began.
In this episode, you’ll hear:
Why religion is not the same thing as relationship
Why church, Bible reading, and tithing are not prerequisites to knowing God
How spiritual confusion can happen when we skip the beginning stages
Why baby steps matter in your walk with God
The heart behind this podcast and the community Leigh hopes to build
This podcast isn’t about pressure, performance, or getting it all right. It’s about learning who God is, one step at a time, in a way that’s personal, honest, and real.
If you’re new to faith, spiritually curious, wounded by religion, or simply tired of feeling like you’re “doing it wrong,” this podcast is for you.
Let’s take baby steps together—toward a real relationship with God
