🧐 They told me to study the Bible and delve deeper into theology. So I did. But that’s when the cracks began to show.

This episodes explores the first moments I started questioning my faith, from conflicting genealogies of Jesus to strange theological teachings. I wasn’t trying to walk away — I just asked the wrong questions. You know....the honest ones.

While I wouldn't actually deconstruct from the faith until years later, these are the first cracks in the foundation of my faith that eventually became gaping holes.

🙏What's it like to grow up in a fundamentalist Christian church and become a missionary...only to walk away from it all? In this episode, I share my experience as a former church kid turned missionary, and how deeply ingrained religious control shaped my beliefs, behaviors, and eventually… my breaking point.

Ironically, this upbringing was the house built on the sand.

If you’re deconstructing your faith, questioning evangelical teachings, or grew up in a strict Christian home, this will speak to you.
