Vulnerability- Jeff Raya’s Story

Today, we have Jeff Raya in the building—and his story isn’t a polished testimony, it’s a real one. After experiencing spiritual abuse, Jeff ran—not from God, but from the pain. What followed was a search for belonging that led him into gangs, destructive choices, and ultimately prison. What he didn’t know then was that God would meet him in the very places he thought disqualified him. In this episode, Jeff opens up about something that once felt foreign and even unsafe: vulnerability. Learning to sit with it, trust it, and live it became the doorway to healing, love, acceptance, and a restored relationship with God. This conversation is honest, raw, and deeply human. If you’ve ever wrestled with church hurt, identity, shame, or the fear of being fully seen—this episode will resonate. Do you see yourself in Jeff’s story?
