I love this so much. I was raised Christian and begrudgingly devoted myself to the faith during my early twenties before leaving the church altogether (I write a lot about this on my own Substack!). I always felt uncomfortable being told to convert my friends and family because I believed that god invites everyone into heaven up until the very last second before death, whether or not they “believed” during their life.
I’m grateful for my innate spiritual curiosity, even if my previous church leaders thought it was sin.
Hey Jordan! Thank you so much for sharing your thoughts. Being told to convert friends and family is a heavy and unfair duty to carry. I hope you continue to follow a path that feels good for you! Thank you for reading!
Thank you for sharing your spiritual journey here. It's always interesting to hear about people's backgrounds and how they come to their beliefs about God/Universe now. I'm thankful for my spiritual curiosity because it took me down a learning path that expanded my mind and brought me closer to God. Had I stayed within the confines of my Catholic upbringing, I wouldn't have a deep relationship with the Divine as I do now.
Hi Kris! I'm so happy read your thoughts on this! I am so glad to know that your spiritual curiosity lead you down a learning path. I personally think that is so exciting and liberating. To be spirituality curious is to deepen a relationship with yourself and the Divine. Thank you for reading!
