I didn’t grow up believing in God.

In fact, I was completely convinced none of it was real. If I couldn’t see it, measure it, or prove it—I didn’t believe it.

I was focused on the material world. What made sense. What could be explained.

But even then… something didn’t fully sit right.

The Search I Didn’t Expect to Go On

Later in life, something started pulling at me to look deeper.

I began researching near-death experiences—intensely. I wasn’t trying to prove anything spiritual. I was trying to disprove it.

But the deeper I went, the harder it became to explain everything away.

There were patterns. Consistencies. Experiences people had across cultures that didn’t fit into a purely material explanation.

And for the first time, I had to seriously consider:

What if the spiritual realm is actually real?

Going All In

Once I opened that door, I didn’t just peek inside—I went all in.

I studied:

• metaphysics

• energy and consciousness

• world religions

• psychic development

• meditation, hypnosis, and altered states

• dreams, astral projection, and more

I completed multiple programs, including formal studies in Toronto and courses through The College of Psychic Studies.

I wanted to understand everything.

And I learned a lot.

But something was off.

The deeper I went, the more I realized:

There were moments of insight—but no solid truth to stand on.

The Reality of Death

One area I became especially drawn to was death.

I studied thanatology and end-of-life care and began working with people who were dying.

What I witnessed was undeniable:

There is more after this life.

But that realization brought a deeper question:

Am I actually prepared for what comes next?

Nowhere Else to Go

After exploring so many beliefs, teachings, and spiritual practices, I reached a point where I felt stuck.

I had studied so much…
but I didn’t have clarity.

Eventually, I came to a place I hadn’t seriously considered before:

The Bible.

Not because I believed it.

But because I felt like I had to at least examine it honestly.

What I Found

At first, I read it—and stepped away.

But something started happening.

I felt drawn back. Not just intellectually—but personally.

And I began to realize something that changed everything:

Everything else pointed inward.

Jesus pointed to Himself.

The Shift

This wasn’t an overnight transformation.

But it was real.

I went from:

• searching → grounded

• restless → at peace

• constantly questioning → finally understanding

Not because I had all the answers…

But because I had found what was true.

Why This Exists

That’s why I created Sword & Scroll Faith.

For people who are:

• searching

• questioning

• open—but not convinced

And who don’t want:

• religion

• confusion

• or surface-level answers

But truth.

Because not everything that feels spiritual is true.

And what you believe about Jesus… matters more than most people realize.

If That’s You

If you see yourself in any part of this story—

You don’t need to have everything figured out.

You just need to be willing to ask honest questions.
