I used to think following God meant following a bunch of rules. Don’t question. Don’t doubt. Don’t think too hard—just do what you’re told. But eventually, I hit a point where I had to ask… Do I actually know God—or have I just memorized church culture? In this episode of Devout-ish, I’m talking about: What “religion” really means—and how it can quietly kill your faith The moment I started questioning everything I was taught Matthew 15:8-9 and how it exposed the difference between performance and presence Practical steps I’m taking to rebuild my faith from the inside out If you’ve ever felt like religion taught you how to perform but never taught you how to connect with God—this episode is for you. This isn’t about walking away from God--It’s about finally getting to know Him. Listen now. Seek in peace. — Follow the show on IG & TikTok: @devoutishpod Listen on Apple Podcasts, Spotify, and iHeart Podcasts
