Church Told Me to Obey. Islam Taught Me to Understand | Revert Journey

When I left Christianity, it wasn’t out of rebellion. It was because I finally understood what I believed and what I didn’t.

This episode is a personal look into why I left church culture behind, how I found clarity in Islam, and the backlash I faced from people who once claimed to love me.

We’re talking about blind faith vs true understanding, judgment vs sincerity, and why choosing Islam was the most thought-out decision I’ve ever made.

🔸 Why the church taught obedience without understanding
🔸 How Islam encourages critical thinking and leadership
🔸 The difference between being accepted… and being known
🔸 And why I couldn’t keep pretending once I knew the truth

This one’s for the people in the TikTok comments, for the quiet thinkers in the back row of church, and for anyone who's ever felt like questioning wasn’t allowed.
