BYC #63 – Christianity: Why I Believe… and, Facing the Tough Questions

Sometimes, our opinions can blind us. 

There was a time, when I was very angry with the Christian church, and very judgmental of most Christians, and when I had a list of objections to Christianity a mile long. But even when I was there, God still reached out to call me home, in life changing ways.  I spent 10 years trying to get home to that God, but not knowing the way. 

In this episode today, I want to talk about how, when I finally dropped my guard and walked into a Christian church, I finally found my way home, and I found all my objections answered, and I found myself growing closer to God in ways I never saw coming … And with that, I found a peace in my soul like never before.
