In Part 2 of Tanner’s testimony, we step into the silent battle that followed the tragedy. Tanner’s life was once the talk of the town—always watched, always evaluated. Everywhere he went, he became whoever people expected him to be, until he couldn’t tell who he was anymore. That’s when the enemy’s lie took root: “People don’t love you—they just feel sorry for you.”
This lie drove him into a life of approval-chasing—working for worth, performing for acceptance, and numbing the ache with alcohol and marijuana.
He'd eventually go to built the life he thought would fix everything—marriage, a child, a home, a career. But even with everything he thought he wanted, he hit the darkest depression of his life and was left with the question... “Is this really it?”
But God was not finished.
In one desperate moment—in a cold shower—Jesus met him. Not in a sermon, not in a church service, but face-to-face in the place he least expected. One encounter, one conversation with the living God, and everything changed.
Today’s episode isn’t just a story—it’s an invitation.
We pray it doesn’t just make you think…
We pray it makes you change.
Look within your own heart and ask the question Tanner had to face:
“Am I really LIVING for Jesus?”

What is xoxo godly girls?

Welcome to xoxo, Godly Girls — a faith-filled podcast with your hosts Abbi and Tori, best friends for over a decade, figuring out life, love, and God one honest conversation at a time.

We grew up in church, but now we’re learning how to follow Jesus for ourselves — outside of family traditions, outside of perfection, and deep in the real stuff: doubts, joy, heartbreak, healing, and growth. Nothing is off-limits here.

Each week (new episodes every Friday!), we open up about our struggles, ask the hard questions, and invite you into a space where faith and authenticity meet. We also bring on guests to share their journeys and wisdom too!

Whether you’re questioning, reconnecting with your faith, or just need a place to feel seen — you’re welcome here. This is a safe space. Let’s laugh, cry, and grow together, one convo at a time.

and with that being said...

xoxo,
Godly Girls
