Have you ever felt this way before? are you also going through this right now?
1/ Sometimes, you spend years immersed in certain church doctrines, trusting the teachings and traditions you were brought up with. You never question them because everyone around you believes the same thing.
2/ But what happens when you start reading the Bible more deeply and find truths that challenge these doctrines? The truth is clear in Scripture, but going against the flow feels terrifying.
3/ Fear kicks in. You’re scared of what your church leaders might think, how your friends will react, and the possibility of being alienated from the community you’ve always known.
4/ It’s not an easy place to be. You wrestle with the thought: *Am I wrong, or have I been led down the wrong path for so long?* Letting go of church dogma that you now see as unbiblical feels like betraying the people you care about.
5/ But here’s the thing—your faith journey is personal. God calls us to follow His Word, even when it's uncomfortable. Finding the courage to stand by what you now know to be true takes time, and it’s okay to feel scared.
6/ Remember, you’re not alone. Others have walked this road before. Pray for wisdom and strength, and lean into God's grace as you navigate this difficult transition. The truth you’ve found is worth pursuing.
