I grew up in the Methodist church and have been a part of the IC ever since. I was born again at the age of 10 and thankful for the teaching and guidance I had at that point in my life.
Recently, I've been telling my wife that I thought the church today is so far off what God intended and I was questioning if we should even go. I actually felt guilty admitting it, and I wasn't sure what to do or where to turn.
It wasn't until just a month or so ago that a friend told us about Free Believers Network. I've now read the book 'The Misunderstood God' and 'Pagan Christianity'. I'm so glad to be finding groups that feel the same way I do and to know I don't have to feel guilty. I am also glad to be realizing the freedom we have through Christ.
On Easter, we had our first home church fellowship made up of all family members. There were 14 of us and we had a great time. We are committing to doing this once a month. Although I still want to be a part of my home church, I know I can go because I want to and not because I am obligated.
I am open to any suggestions and help on this journey, and I am glad to be a part of this group.
