In this tender and powerful episode of Your Collective, Sherisse sits down with JR, the heart behind BrushFires Ministry, to unpack the quiet ache of spiritual disconnection—and what it means to return to divine intimacy.

JR introduces the idea of “diffusion”—that foggy space where depression and confusion meet—often showing up when we’re out of alignment with our God-given design. Through honest storytelling, spiritual clarity, and deeply lived experience, JR reminds us that we are not lost… we are simply being invited home.

This episode is for the ones who look successful on the outside but feels hollow on the inside. It’s a reminder that joy, purpose, and identity are found not in performance—but in presence.
