Leaving Everything I Knew: My Stigma With Christianity | Ep. 43

Almost everyone has met a Christian who made them want to run the other way — and this episode doesn't pretend that isn't true.Rahul shares what it was like growing up Hindu and being cornered by kids on a school bus who used fear instead of love to try to convert him. Van, who was turned off by Christianity herself for years, asks the questions most people are afraid to say out loud.What follows is an honest account of what it actually took for Rahul to leave behind everything his family and identity were built on, and the moment that changed his mind wasn't logical at all. There's a quiet, specific memory near the end about what he had and didn't have on the day everything shifted, and it says more than any argument could.If Christianity has ever felt hypocritical or pushy to you, this conversation meets that feeling head on. If you are open to a real relationship with God, we want to encourage you to pray this prayer or one of your own."Dear God - is it true that there's only 1 God? Please speak to me in a way that I can understand. Remove the confusion, distractions and ideologies that aren't true and give me the raw truth. Speak to my heart so that I may know you if you do exist. And if you do then what is your Name? Reveal it to me." AmenWe believe that if you pray this prayer from a sincere place God will come and encounter you in a real way. When that happens, we have one favor to ask please come back and let us know in the comments. Because your story can help others that have the same hang-ups with christianity encounter this same God in a similar way. Find us on Spotify @pillayplacepodcasthttps://open.spotify.com/show/6yDlDhEWsh21t2zeg7f5AC?si=B7-HfM0VR6SJuI2i7l4KdgYouTube: @pillayplacepodcast https://www.youtube.com/@PillayPlacePodcast
