Dirty Faith: Wanting God When You Feel Too Messy to Be Loved

Some of us have prayed bold prayers with our heads down.

Not because we lack faith — but because shame arrived first.

In this powerful live conversation, author Dr. Sagashus Levingston and Pastor and Judge Everett Mitchell explore the tension between faith and desire — especially when it comes to money, sex, ambition, and the feeling of being spiritually unqualified.

Rooted in Chapter 16, “Naked,” this session asks hard and necessary questions:

  • What happens when financial desire collides with faith?

  • Why does sexual desire often feel “dirty” within spiritual spaces?

  • What does it mean to ask God for more without guilt?

  • How has shame shaped the way we pray — particularly around money, power, and purpose?

  • And how do we begin to pray out loud again — fully, honestly, and without apology?

This conversation creates space for honesty without condemnation, reflection without performance, and faith without pretending.

Come prepared for depth, vulnerability, and a re-examination of what it means to trust God with the parts of ourselves we were taught to hide.

What to Expect:

  • A live, raw conversation between Dr. Sagashus and Pastor Everette Mitchell

  • Reflections on shame, spirituality, motherhood, and how we fight to feel worthy

  • A safe space to ask questions, reflect, and sit with your whole self—unapologetically

  • Optional prayer, soft music, and a sacred close

Vibe:

This isn’t church as usual.
It’s bold conversation.

Come in whatever state you’re in.
Just come as you are…for real.

Because there is no version of you that God doesn’t want.
