"I love God, but I hate religion."
 
Religion was never meant to be a system of control,
manipulation, or empty traditions. It was never designed to
divide us with denominations and variations that breed confu‐
sion.
 
Though I was raised in a church with good intentions,
over time, the structure became controlling, and the teachings
often felt like chains rather than a pathway to freedom.
 
I had to make a hard choice to disappoint the expectations
of others—expectations that were unhealthy, unbiblical, and
rooted in a distorted interpretation of Scripture used to "t a
narrative of control. Breaking free from church culture was one
of the most challenging yet liberating decisions of my life. It
was only then that I encountered Kingdom culture—a culture
rooted in grace, truth, and freedom in Christ.
 

Unlearning the deeply ingrained systems of religion wasn’t
easy. It required humility, healing, and a relentless pursuit of
God’s truth. That journey led me to write this book—a heart‐
felt guide for believers who are weary of striving to meet
human expectations while losing sight of God’s true nature.
