Every one of us begins life inside a story we did not choose.
Before we ask questions, before we form beliefs of our own, we inherit a version of faith. It is the faith that shaped the air in our homes, the faith that quietly formed how we see the world, and what we believe about God, life, and eternity.
In this deeply personal story, I revisit the faith of my childhood, a faith shaped by a constant awareness of heaven and hell, obedience and judgment, and the terrifying possibility that the world could end at any moment.
As a child, I believed that even small moments, going to the circus, dancing at school, or forgetting to confess a mistake, could determine whether I would be saved or left behind.
Over time I began to realize something profound.
Fear had slowly replaced good news.
This episode explores the difference between inherited faith and living faith, and how curiosity often becomes the doorway through which faith begins to grow.
Because sometimes the most important spiritual moment in a person’s life is not when they stop believing, but when they begin asking questions.
