There Should Be Freedom In Your Faith, Not A Feeling Of Being Trapped

This is the Transformed Faith Manifesto

I had been a Christian for nearly 10 years when it finally happened. My faith had turned bland and lifeless. Yes, I was reading my Bible and praying regularly, but there wasn’t communion with God. It had become an exercise of obligation.

We went to church on Sundays. Did our morning quiet times. Prayed when it seemed appropriate. My wife and I even lead men's and women’s Bible studies. Yet, there was no power or excitement to our faith.

Sure, every so often, we would have these glimpses of amazing things. But for the most part, it wasn’t any different than that of our non-believing coworkers or friends.

We fell into this rut because we kept doing the same thing over and over again but nothing was different. Most of all, we had let lies about who we are create barriers that didn’t allow us to go any deeper in our faith.

We knew something had to change, but we weren’t sure how to do it.
