why i chose to keep my faith | Glowing Up Ep 18 - Video

Happy Easter Weekend everyone! In the spirit of the occasion I thought I’d make a video that’s slightly different from the usual: why i'm still a christian despite having considered leaving the faith.

i've watched a lot of videos on Youtube about people either talking about how they converted to Christianity from a life without God, or why they left Christianity - but I wanted share a lesser told story, ie the perspective of someone who was in church since young, who neither had any earth-shattering conversion moment nor left the faith... but still discovered, in little ways, how my life has changed.

Hope you guys enjoy this!
