This episode isn’t about bitterness or blame—it’s about clarity. James reflects on his church upbringing, the pastors and teachers he’s grateful for, and the real reasons his beliefs began to shift: study, common sense, and a refusal to ignore what no longer made sense. He opens up about personal accountability, spiritual growth, and why love doesn’t always mean sameness. If you’ve ever been told your questions must come from pain, this one’s for you.🔍 What You’ll Hear In This Episode:Why James says his journey away from traditional faith wasn’t about being “hurt”Gratitude for Sunday School teachers and childhood faith traditionsHow questioning tithing, hell, salvation, and the rapture led to deeper spiritual changeThe tension between honoring the past and outgrowing itWhat it means to take full responsibility for your choices—without shameWhy love and community can still exist even when beliefs no longer align✨ Quote from the Episode:"You don’t have to be hurt to change.
