I remember the first time I walked into a Christian church. I was a young man, maybe 19, full of questions and a deep, aching sense of longing for something I couldn’t quite name.

I sat in the back pew, the hard wood cold against my back, and I listened. I listened to the sermon, the hymns, the prayers.

There was a sense of community, of shared devotion, that I found beautiful and deeply moving. But as the service went on, a part of me felt… disconnected.

It was as if I was looking at a beautiful painting of a feast, a masterpiece of devotion and faith, but I wasn’t being invited to eat.
