Free At Last with Jen Savage

Have you ever tried to out-perform your way into God's approval, only to end up terrified you're still not doing enough?

In this episode of Room at the Table, Kimberly Milo sits down with Jen Savage, a registered nurse who spent years trapped in a cycle of fear, obsession, and control disguised as faith. Jen grew up in the Bible Belt with a deep reverence for scripture, but underneath it was a mind wired for OCD long before she ever had the diagnosis. Combine that with a fear-based, performance-driven version of Christianity, and Jen found herself consumed by intrusive thoughts about sin, hell, and whether she was really saved, a cycle so overwhelming it led her into suicidal ideation during college. Her story is a raw look at what happens when mental illness and religious legalism collide, and what it took for her to finally find the real gospel of grace.
