It’s been a hot minute since I’ve blogged here, and for that I apologize! I have been so busy interviewing, editing and producing my new podcast, Honoring the Journey. It’s been so much fun and we are just getting started!

I remember talking with a friend when I first stopped attending church back in 2017. She said that perhaps the evangelical church could represent the boat the disciples were in when they saw Jesus walking on the water. Jesus called Peter out to walk on the water with Him, away from the boat. She suggested that could be what Jesus was doing with me. Could He have been calling me out of the boat and onto the water for some intimate one-on-one time and at some point, perhaps He and I would return to the boat and things would go back to normal?

One of the hardest things I’ve had to wrestle with during this faith transition was coming face to face with the fact that I was going to disappoint people I care about. My going public could make their hearts heavy with grief, fear, disappointment and sadness. Ugh. I wish there was a way to avoid hurting people while still being true to myself.

I was recently asked about my journey out of religion and Evangelicalism. Someone wanted to know my thoughts about how it felt to be a strong, very outspoken Evangelical Christian and then go through the process of an intense faith transition out of religion.

My journey out of Evangelicalism doesn’t mean that every experience I had in religion was negative. There were also some really great moments…

Whew! It’s been a journey since going public about my faith transition and now I’m finally coming up for air…

The Fall Season is in full bloom here in Utah, and it got me thinking…

When I first began to question my beliefs in Evangelical Christianity, I was terrified…

I’m not sure when I began to pull on the thread, but once I did, it unraveled pretty quickly.
