Makeda Pennycooke is beautiful, peaceful, and authentic in ways that astound me.  I rarely feel safe in the presence of others like I do with Makeda.  In this episode, you will hear the first song ever sung on the podcast, but you'll also get a glimpse into Makeda's life where she starts in Brooklyn, NY, and manages to peel apart her life and put it all back together as she landed in Charlotte, NC.

With roots in Jamaica, Makeda walks us through her foundations as a physical therapist and how growing up in religion and church which led her to later becoming a pastor and church planter.  Makeda begins to question her beliefs and even wondered if God/god existed.  Being a good rule follower, Makeda walks through whether or not what she had been taught was ever even real.  She eventually embarks on a rebuild of her internal systems to where she is today as a coach helping others find their own way.

If you're someone deconstructing your religious journey, this is the episode for you.  If Makeda's story speaks to you, you can learn how she believes fear is temporary, but regret is permanent (www.makedapennycooke.com).
