Episode From Excellence to Surrender: Demi & Olivia on Faith, Identity & Spiritual Growth
In this episode, Pablo and Ayo sit down with Demi and Olivia, two recent college graduates, for a conversation that is honest, layered, and full of life. Growing up in high-achieving households, both women navigated the weight of expectations — including what it meant to be a "good Christian" by going through the motions.
Demi and Olivia share the gradual, sometimes messy journey of finding God for themselves, separate from their parents, their culture, and meeting others’ expectations.
From grief and academic pressure to the power of testimony and the bountiful supply of the Holy Spirit, Demi and Olivia reflect on what it looks like to stop performing faith and start living it.
This is a conversation for anyone who has ever inherited a belief and had to make it their own.
