For many of us, the word religion is stamped into our identity from a young age. I know it was for me. I was raised in a specific church, taught to observe traditions, memorize creeds, and check the “good Christian”...

One Sunday our church started a series called True North, and something inside me woke up. It reminded me of a truth I had carried for years but nearly forgotten — that God spared me for a reason, and that my purpose is simply to help draw others closer to Him. That moment was a reawakening, a reminder that He’s always been guiding me back to the path He set for me.

Choosing faith doesn’t mean you won’t feel fear—it means trusting God through it. A raw look at obedience, doubt, and God’s faithfulness.
