The Struggle with Faith and Family

Growing up in a household with strong religious beliefs and underlying violence led to a confusing experience regarding faith. The speaker describes how the fundamentalist views of their mother, combined with the turbulent behavior of their father, created a misinformation about Jesus and the gospel. This upbringing resulted in a disorientation concerning their understanding of faith, making it difficult to see the connection between the teachings of Jesus and their personal life. Over time, however, a transformative experience facilitated a deeper understanding of God's presence and grace in their life.
