Essay on Life: The Hymn I Didn't Understand

When I was a child, Sundays meant dragging my feet to church, fumbling with my shirt buttons, and mostly daydreaming about what was for lunch. I didn’t understand faith, and honestly, I thought the whole thing seemed a little crazy. Still, the hymns, the pews, even the orange juice and saltines—somehow they stayed with me. Years later, when I struggled with loss and addiction, those same sounds I once ignored came back as a lifeline. In this episode, I share how faith has a way of finding us, even when we try to push it away—and how what we don’t understand as children sometimes ends up being the very thing that saves us.
