#whyImaChristian There has been proof to me of God in big ways and small, which in hindsight can seem strange considering how much I doubt.

THREAD: 1) I’m seeing a tweet go viral by a pastor who is explaining why he is no longer a Christian. Faith is a personal journey, so I hope he keeps navigating it, but I wanted to tell a story on #whyImaChristian.
