Stacey reminds us that faith isn’t the absence of doubt.
Faith lives in the questions.
When you’re unsure.
When you’re asking, “God, where are You?”
That’s not a failure of faith. That is faith.
Don’t be afraid of the process. It’s spiritual formation.
And you’re not alone. Just look at scripture: People wrestled with God all the time.
And He stayed with them.

![She Stopped Asking for Permission: Jillians Story [365]](https://i.ytimg.com/vi/oocTzbq-VyA/mqdefault.jpg "She Stopped Asking for Permission: Jillians Story [365]
What happens when you stop asking for permission in an abusive marriage?
Today, Jillian shares her story of waking up to covert abuse in her Christian marriage and what it took to finally get out.
Youll hear how she recognized the patterns, why she chose to leave despite having a young son, and what life looks like now on the other side. If youve been wondering whether things could actually be different, this conversation will show you whats possible when you start rescuing yourself.
🔑 Key Takeaways:
- The warning signs started immediately after marriage: Jillian noticed holiday ruining, rage, silent treatment, and passive aggression within the first year—but spent nine more years trying to fix it.
- The permission trap: When Jillian hired a life coach without asking, her husband threatened consequences and demanded she ask permission—revealing his need for control.
- Staying for the kids actually harms them: Jillian left because of her son, not despite him, knowing that growing up watching dysfunction would hardwire toxic patterns into his brain.
- Divorce doesnt have to be a war: Jillians divorce took just three months because she was willing to buy her freedom and give him what he wanted (money, custody, reputation).
- Post-divorce transformation is real: Two years out, Jillian has rebuilt her self-trust, started a successful business, and is leveling up emotionally—proof that change isnt just possible, its exponential.
