About this listen

Deeply influenced by his grandmother's faith and immersed in the fervent spirituality of his church—from fiery sermons to prayers spoken in tongues—author Scot Loyd once believed without question. But as he grew older, that belief began to shift. Confronted by the heavy demands of his religion, the racism that harmed his closest friend, and personal wounds too long ignored, he began to question the version of faith he had been given.

The God I Was Given is the story of letting go and searching for something more—a faith that is wider, more honest, and rooted in love. For anyone navigating spiritual change, this book offers both reflection and a way forward.

Through vivid storytelling and lyrical reflection, this book explores the deep influence of faith, family, and cultural identity in a small Southern community.
