Ever since I was little, I’ve had a curiosity about God. In my freshman year of high school, my curiosity got the best of me and I started looking for answers. Eventually, I picked up my Bible and started in Genesis. I was lost on how to start a faith journey, but I really wanted to try.
Once I was old enough to drive, I started going to a church with some friends. I could tell that church didn’t fully align with what I believed, but I LOVED the worship so I continued to show up. It’s funny how we never know what we have until it’s gone, though, because once I went to college, I felt lost again.
So, I decided to go on another journey. This time, I took myself on a tour of churches. I tried a Catholic church, the home church I went to infrequently growing up, a few other denominations, and then I found one that struck a chord: Hope.
It is clear God was working in my life. What teenager drives around trying new churches each weekend? God was stirring in my heart, and I’m so grate...
