I grew up in a religious household and attended church regularly. However, as I got older, I started to question my beliefs and eventually stopped going to church altogether.

There were many things that contributed to my doubts, including seeing the hypocrisy of some religious leaders, struggling with the concept of a loving God allowing suffering in the world, and feeling like I couldn’t reconcile my beliefs with science and logic.

It was a gradual process, but I started to explore different spiritual practices and beliefs. I read books about different religions, attended meditation and yoga classes, and talked to people from different faith backgrounds. Through this exploration, I started to find pieces of wisdom and truth that resonated with me.

For me, it was experiencing moments of transcendence and connection with something greater than myself. It was also finding a community of people who shared similar beliefs and values. Having a supportive community and a sense of connection to something bigger than myself helped me solidify my faith.

I would encourage them to explore their doubts with an open mind and heart. It’s okay to question, and it’s okay to not have all the answers. It’s also important to find a community of people who can support and encourage you on your journey. And most importantly, be gentle with yourself and trust that the answers will come in their own time.
