For all of my life, I was an evangelical Christian. I was bought in completely for most of my time here on earth. Politically, I have run the gamut of extremisms as I tried to find out who I was as I was growing up. However, all the while, I still had the foundation of Christianity as my basis.

Recently, in the last few years, I found that my religious foundation was slowly crumbling around me as I was realizing how I was not following a religion, but a political amalgamation of things that I found detestable. I began to question everything that I previously believed.

It got to the point that I had suicidal thoughts as I saw no hope for me, my loved ones, or for humanity. While I never tried to kill myself, these thoughts drew me to therapy, where I unlearned many of the incredibly harmful things that Evangelical Christianity taught me.

Now I am on a journey to discover Truth, wherever I may find it. I still consider myself a spiritualist that follows Jesus. But I have shed the label of Christian, as I don’t believe they hold the monopoly on Truth and that term holds a lot of baggage. Who knows, in the following months or years, I may not even believe in that. But it is the journey that I am on; I do not care about the destination save that it brings me closer to whatever the Truth may or may not be. I hope you find something helpful along the way.
