Faith without religion.
Embracing Personal Faith Beyond Tradition
In our recent broadcast, we explored the journey of faith and the evolution of belief, particularly through the lens of my personal experiences transitioning from the LDS Church to a broader understanding of Christianity. I began my life deeply rooted in Mormonism, where I actively sought a relationship with God and believed in the teachings of the church. However, after years of searching for truth, I experienced a profound spiritual awakening in 1997 that led me to reevaluate my beliefs.
This journey was marked by a growing awareness of the manipulations within both Mormonism and modern Christianity. I began to question long-held doctrines, starting with the concept of hell, which I found to be misrepresented in traditional teachings. This realization prompted me to examine other theological concepts, including the nature of God and the Trinity, which led to significant pushback from established religious communities.
As I delved deeper into scripture, particularly the Book of Revelation, I was challenged to confront my previous understandings of eschatology. With the encouragement of my team, I undertook a verse-by-verse study of Revelation, which ultimately reshaped my perspective on the fulfillment of biblical prophecies and the nature of God’s love.
Through this process, I came to understand that God’s essence is love, and that He desires a personal relationship with each individual, free from the constraints of institutional religion. I emphasized that true Christianity transcends denominational boundaries and is rooted in a personal connection with Christ.
As we move forward, we invite those who resonate with this message to join us in forming a community focused on individual spiritual growth and fellowship. If you’re interested in participating, please reach out with your name and location, and we will provide further details. Together, we can explore a faith that emphasizes personal relationships over institutional allegiance.
