I have been a dedicated Christian since memories began about thirty years ago. I was a Jesus Freak kid, received a Bible degree from Moody Bible Institute, a pastor for six years, and obsessed with Christian apologetics. After a period radical spiritual anxiety and existential crisis, I am no longer a Christian. I am now in the best part of my spiritual life. This video will share everything that happened for me to go from confident Christian to having my faith completely collapse.
