E8 - The Evolution of Faith: Leaving Religious Tradition Without losing God

In this deeply reflective episode, we sit down with Emma to explore faith, identity, and spiritual evolution through the lens of a shared Haitian Catholic upbringing. Growing up immersed in Catholic tradition, Emma shares how relocating to the United States sparked deeper questions about church history, Protestantism, and religious authority.   Together, we unpack the transition from Catholicism to Protestant beliefs, examining core doctrinal differences, confession, intercessors, saints, the Trinity, and the nature of heaven and angels. The conversation also moves beyond religion into personal faith—exploring free will, spiritual guidance, parenting and belief, and what it means to have a direct relationship with God and Jesus outside institutional structures.   This episode is for anyone questioning inherited beliefs, navigating faith transitions, or seeking a more personal and authentic connection with God while honoring their cultural and spiritual roots.
