I was raised in the church of Christ, which is very fundamental. Until I went to college. That's when it started to change. By the 4th year, I stopped going to church. I always believed that if I ever stopped going, my faith would go away too. I believe that it has. I'm not sure I even believe in God...but I so desperately want to! I WANT to have faith, I WANT to rely on God! I'm now 24 and never go to church and don't have the desire to! It frightens me!
I feel so conflicted. I believe most of the church of Christ doctrine. However, I never felt spiritual or close to God in a church service there...ever. I'd just wait for it to end. It seems like I've felt God more in simple times, outside of church. I feel almost like the church of Christ is so strict that it cut off my faith in God completely.
How do I get faith back? Any advice? Please help.
I welcome responses from members of the church of Christ and other Christian churches too.
