Born and raised a Christian, I later experienced a crisis of faith from "summary" of Finding God in the Waves by Mike McHargue
I was brought up in a Christian household, where the teachings of the Bible were instilled in me from a young age. I embraced my faith wholeheartedly, finding comfort and guidance in the beliefs that were passed down to me through generations. However, as I grew older, I began to question the very foundation of my faith. Doubts crept in, challenging everything I had been taught to believe. The crisis of faith I experienced was a tumultuous period in my life, filled with uncertainty and confusion. I grappled with profound existential questions, struggling to reconcile my faith with the realities of the world around me. The simple answers I once clung to no longer seemed sufficient, and I found myself adrift in a sea of doubt and disbelief. Despite my doubts, I couldn't simply abandon my faith. It was a part of who I was, ingrained in my very being. So, I embarked on a journey of self-discovery and spiritual exploration, seeking to find a deeper understanding of my faith and the world around me. This journey led me down unexpected paths, challenging me to confront my beliefs and preconceptions head-on. Through introspection and dialogue with others, I began to piece together a new framework for my faith – one that was more nuanced and complex than the black-and-white worldview I had previously held. I learned to embrace the uncertainty and embrace the questions that had once plagued me, finding a sense of peace in the midst of the unknown. My crisis of faith was not the end of my spiritual journey but rather a new beginning. It forced me to confront my beliefs and assumptions, leading me to a deeper, more authentic understanding of my faith. In the end, I emerged from the turmoil stronger and more resilient, with a faith that was truly my own.
