Why Do We Have To Choose One Religion?

A wave of guilt washes over me. That same one instilled in me since birth. A sense of anxiety comes up when the conversation of church comes up. I go silent and nonchalantly sidle my way out because *gasp* we don’t go to church. Why do I let my story be one of disappointment that I don’t fit into what society wants me to do? I am still a good person even if we don’t go to church.

Truth is, church hasn’t really been a fit for me since high school. I grew up going to church, but have never really been a religious person. It took me years to realize where my spiritual path was going and to not be ashamed of who I am.

To better understand your church, you may consider joining their activities and see how this would affect you. Volunteering at church may help spark your belief and devotion. Apps that manage helpers at your church Ministry Match has made volunteering so much easier.

When we had kids, I knew they would start questioning my beliefs and asking hard questions. As someone who sees themselves as more spiritual than religious, I had to dig down deep and reflect upon these answers before responding to my kids. Most of these questions are ones I’ve asked myself so I knew this was my truth.
