Behind the Pulpit: Lessons from My Spiritual Journey

Reflecting on the Pentecostal church and how early experiences continue to shape our spiritual journey today. Many of us grew up watching men behind the pulpit, absorbing lessons that touched our spirits long before we had the context to understand them. This conversation explores the weight of that early exposure and the feeling of wandering that often follows as we begin to question the structures we were raised in. It is an honest look at the intersection of Black identity and the institutions that defined our youth. We discuss the importance of reconciling those formative years with our current sense of self. Moving away from organized religion does not mean losing your connection to the divine; instead, it is often a necessary step in defining your own personal faith. By examining these past influences, we can find clarity in the present and build a belief system that truly resonates with who we are becoming.
