À propos de cet audio
"You don't know God." The church elder’s eyes locked on me from across the conference table. “He’s absent from your narrative.”
The room went woozy, and I struggled to bring my brain back online, managing to sputter, “God is the center of my narrative!”
But he wasn’t listening. He already had his story about me.
Here’s mine.

“Natalie's writing is vibrant and deeply intimate. The innocence, honesty, and humor (seriously, she is so funny sometimes) that Natalie breathes into her storytelling makes All the Scary Little Gods both deeply personal and remarkably universal. If you have struggled with reconciling the harmful ways that twisted theology has entrapped you while simultaneously struggling to embrace the beautiful and freeing parts of your faith, this book will guide you.”—Tiffany Yecke Brooks, PhD, Author of Gaslighted by God: Reconstructing a Disillusioned Faith
“Natalie not only shares with us a clear understanding of her past trauma in poignant and sometimes even humorous vignettes, but she then brilliantly pairs those alongside her present view of God in a safe, inviting, and therapeutic method; this book is like a therapy session in a memoir.”—Emily Elizabeth, Founder of Thriving Forward
“What a journey. Thank you, Natalie, for taking us readers on such a heartbreaking liberation journey. Truly, the words in this book come from a bruised and wise sage who has lived through hell to speak to such heaven. All the Scary Little Gods helps me believe more deeply in the truth of the gospel.”—Dr. Andrew J. Bauman, Author of SAFE CHURCH

Binge-worthy and thought-provoking
I didn't think "binge a memoir" would be on my 2025 bingo card, but here we are.
All The Scary Little Gods is engaging, raw, heartfelt, and thought-provoking. Having been introduced to Hoffman's work with the Flying Free podcast, I elected to listen to this via audiobook and it did not disappoint!
Far from a drab "I did this" "I did that" recollection, Hoffman creatively tells her story through several different eyes, making this feel like Inside Out meets the rough-and-tumble world of coming out of Christian hyper-conservatism. You'll laugh, you'll cry, and you'll gasp.
And, if you've had any experience in an emotionally abusive relationship, you just might see yourself. I was shocked at how many recorded events I could draw a direct correlation to my own life, able to change names like "John" and "George" to names of those in my own circles, down to the details of emails and phone conversations. Such a moving, validating read that sees through the smoke and mirrors of abuse and cuts to the roots of it, while offering so much love and grace to survivors.
This love and grace extends to granting theological perspectives to ponder and replace previous destructive ones. Hoffman doesn't just tear down the toxic teaching, but offers the tools and hope for her readers to rebuild. I found myself often stopping to think about these things, testing them against my understanding of the Word and finding them to make so much sense--a better, more realistic explanation than how I'd previously been taught.
I've purchased the paperback book to sit on my shelf as well to revisit key concepts, though I look forward to listening to the whole book once again.
If you're on the fence about reading this book, just do it.
