I Believed in God, But Not Jesus

I believed there was a God. I believed there was a Creator. But Jesus? That was a completely different story.

In this episode, I share the part of my faith journey where I began believing in God again while still rejecting Christianity and the idea that Jesus was the only way to Him. I believed there was truth in different religions, that love was what mattered most, and that everyone had to find the path that made sense for them.

So I searched.

I studied different religions, explored spirituality, and tried to understand the experiences I had been having since childhood. And underneath all of that searching, I was really looking for three things: love, acceptance, and purpose.

Eventually, I found people and spiritual practices that seemed to offer exactly what I had been searching for. For the first time, I felt like someone understood what I was experiencing. But what initially felt like answers eventually brought fear, darkness, and questions I couldn't ignore.

I believed in God—but I still didn't know who He was.

And I definitely wasn't ready to believe that the answer could be Jesus.
