we are another week into the podcast welcome back we're going to start profess you guys i tell

you i'm ready i'm revving i'm right on track welcome to after hours of amanda the podcast that

is about parenting but literally basically about everything in life and relationships um

we chat all things i am happy you're here. If this is your first visit,

get ready for, I don't even know how to explain it, buckle up buttercup. We bounce around,

we chat, but hopefully we land in a place that leaves you feeling encouraged and refreshed.

Today we are going to talk about my relationship with Jesus. And the crowd goes silent.

Can I just tell you guys how many requests I have gotten for me to share about my faith and for me to share about my belief and my religion and how that impacts me daily and how to deal with that daily and things

like that. And I want a disclaimer on this episode, okay? This episode is not me telling you

I'm right, you're wrong. This episode is in no way to convert or convince you of Christianity or

Jesus. It is simply me sharing my experience.

I want another disclaimer on this episode. There are a lot of people in the world, myself included,

who have been hurt by people that use Christianity as a reason for their actions. And to you, I say I'm sorry because I've been on the

other side of that when somebody is treating you some way that is absolutely in no way justifiable,

but they're using Christianity as the reason for that. Or they're using Christianity as the way

to tell you your worth.

Because that's not what it's about.

And that's not what it's about for me.

So we are going to call this episode losing my religion.

And why do I call it losing my religion?

Well, I mean, you guys could probably guess.

But if you want to Webster Dictionary it, right?
