Good things that I miss sometimes about religion

I spend a lot of time discussing the ways growing up in organized religion brought harm to my well-being. These days I do it mostly because I think it’s relatable to those who had similar upbringings. I am still processing my trauma, even though I’ve been out of church for a while. For this post, I thought that id share about the good parts of being raised in the evangelical church.

Here are a few things that weren’t that bad, and that I sometimes even miss

• Community
• Worship nights
• Potlucks
• Holidays
• Late night theological disscusions (now that’s shifted into conversations about our deconstruction)
• Drives with friends talking about Jesus
• The routine of going to church every week
• Fellowship after the service
• Dramatically belting out Lauren Daigles “I will trust in you” Now that’s changed to embarrassingly singing Olivia Rodrigues when I’m home alone
• Having a reason to get a little dressed up every week
• Seeing good/god in the insignificant

Now I don’t miss these things to go back to being a regular attendant of church. I’m simply reminiscing. Hope you guys have a beautiful day

With love,
