Because we live in a broken world, most of us have experienced dealing with broken people, which means that at some point, we’ve likely been hurt by someone in our life.

But what happens when we’re hurt by another Christian we look up to – or even a church?

How do we move forward after we’ve had a negative experience with the church? And how can we get back to an authentic faith life when we’re feeling spiritually burnt out?

These are all difficult questions that I talk about with business coach and podcast host Amanda Smith in this candid episode of the SHE podcast.

Meet the CEO of Dallas Girl Gang

Amanda Smith is a business coach and CEO of Dallas Girl Gang, a 50,000+ global community of engaged women connecting in career, business, and life.

In 2017, Amanda had a difficult experience with her church which led to a huge life shift and a move to Dallas, Texas, where she began seeking a meaningful and uplifting community of women.

After coming up empty in her search, she created one herself and called it “Dallas Girl Gang” which has continued to grow in recent years and has led to countless collaborations, coaching, online events, and even The Girl Gang Podcast.

Amanda’s own experience with the church was a difficult one, but it eventually strengthened her faith and led to a vibrant community.

Hi, I'm Jordan.
& I'm glad you're here.

I have a huge heart for helping other mamas (and future mamas to-be) naturally support their body, embrace their femininity, and make healthy swaps for their families in a way that works for them and glorifies God (zero perfection required)

My days are spent writing books, hosting the SHE podcast, sharing product recommendations, and creating resources rooted in biblical values to help you do just that.
