Born to religious parents
Traditionally religious
Looking for something exciting
Growing a rebellious spirit against established orthodoxy
Experimenting with Protestantism/Charismaticism
Seeking answers - Apologetics
Being proud of being a protestant
Biblisicm
Self-righteousness
Religion returns
Roller coaster spirituality
Confusion
Being exposed to the 'finality of the cross' and the 'reality of the resurrection'
Questioning
Threats, pressure and more confusion
Stepping out the boat
Unlearning begins
Walking few steady steps, slipping
Holding onto Jesus's hands, hanging on to grace
Law threatens and seduces
Religion tries to inject insecurity
Embracing grace (By His grace!)
Walking by faith
Faith, freedom, mess, growth...
More mess, more growth, more freedom...
Jesus, Thank You!
