Exploring and searching for truth and meaning in a world that is constantly embracing different beliefs and spirituality can be tricky. It can feel misguided or taboo when we’ve grown up in a religion or culture that doesn’t encourage curiosity. For many of us, our defining beliefs aren’t just a philosophy or guide to how we live, but a massive part of our identity. We can be shamed for rejecting our roots when we steer away from what we were raised with and that can have painful results. Converting can result in being disowned and experiencing fractured family relationships.

How can we find peace and contentment in the midst of losing closeness with our loved ones, because they don’t agree with our faith walk? Watch as our host Rachel Calland is joined by Fadila Hale and Sahar Twesigye in the Magnify Studio for Ep 40 ‘Leaving Islam, Finding Jesus’.
