I'm Back

Wow, it's been a long time since I've written in this blog. A lot has happened in my life since my last post. Towards the end of 2012, I began questioning my faith. I wasn't seeking to rebel against God; I wasn't wanting to leave God behind. I was seeking to strengthen both my faith and my Christian apologetic. But as I continued down the path of questioning, I began to encounter things that I perceived as troublesome, even fatal, to my faith.

By spring of 2013 I had completely lost my faith. I considered myself an agnostic, and was essentially atheistic in my ideology and worldview. So I embraced the secular life as best I could. It's not a super exciting story. Basically, I lived as an unbeliever for a couple of years. There were a couple times during those years that I really did try to believe again. I wasn't originally looking to become an unbeliever and, in truth, there were times that I really missed my relationship with Christ. But I was convinced that God didn't exist.

In March of 2015, things changed. I began to realize that I had been creating my own criteria for what evidence God needed to provide in order to prove His existence. Up until this point, I had been putting my own conditions on the existence of God and the truth of the Bible. And so, after much wrestling and seeking, I again was able to believe that faith in Christ is reasonable and substantial.

There are some specific issues that I had to work through in order to find my way back; I hope to address those and flesh them out a bit in future posts. For now I just wanted to get back up to date on my blog and give an update of where I'm at.
