"My Religious Experience " by Austyn C



Through my life Christ has had extraordinary and phenomenal impacts on me. His influence has allowed me to change my view on life and the effects and views on the outside world. Coming to Christ was placed upon me by my parents when I was a young child and would start my path to becoming more spiritually connected. I’m very thankful for my parents for doing so as I feel my life has greatly benefited from it. As a younger child, I knew that following Christ was good but I wasn’t so much aware as to how my benefits and practices of Christ would be challenged later in life. It wasn’t till my early high school years where I really saw the different challenges I would be faced with. These challenges ranged from decisions making with friends to making my own in tough situations. No matter how difficult the situation was or will be in the future I will always know asking Christ and knowing what is best in his eyes will help come out successful. If I ever find myself in a difficult situation or time period, going to the church with my parents for support always seem to be the most reliable option to me. Even though I go through trouble and hardship, church taught me they can be beneficial as they show how strong my faith is and to stay strong and not give up hope. They help my path with Christ stay strong and always increase in positivity. I feel I’ve also gained a lot of this strength in Christ from members in my church. The church my family and I attend is called Sunrise Church in the city of Rialto no more than fifteen minutes away from my house. This is such a pleasant church to be and the community of the church is very caring toward all that
attended. It’s such a comfortable and relaxing setting with many leaders to help. Over the years of attending the church, I’ve found myself to be more of the kind of person to observe and take in information from others and try to apply it to my life. I was slow to interact at first but over the years I’ve increased talking to others and finding out their walk with Christ. I’ve been able to this with some friends outside of Church also. Friends that I’ve known for many years have a strong passion with Christ also and we have been able to have conversations about different topics and even spread the influence to others we know. Communication with others about Christ feels to me the best thing that I can provide to others. This will allow me to teach others about what I know about Christ and how knowing Christ has helped me in life and allows me to gain information from others and compare the different paths people have taken to come to know Christ.

I love how you were open to talking about your relationship with your faith and religion. Many people aren't comfortable with that topic or to even share it with others. I relate to this a lot because I also communicate to Christ when things go bad or good, Good job Austyn!

Austyn, I appreciate you for choosing a topic that can be seen as controversial and I admire how open you are with your relationship with Christ. I know sometimes people aren't open about topics such as religion but thank you so much for sharing your experience. Remember as we go on in life, He will be there for you at all times. Great job!

Reading this post was very satisfying and pleasureable. As someone who doesn't consider themselves religious, I admire your relationship with your faith, and how you touch upon how some people have taken different paths to know Christ! I enjoyed reading about your own experience with Christ by your side; the community you're in sounds very supporting and I'm glad to hear you've grown with him to better yourself and others around you!

I love your testimony, Austyn! It's always cool to see a friend share a story similar to mine in that your parents leading you to Christ at a young age ultimately impacted your life. It is impressive that you are able to put your relationship with Christ into words and I hope you can inspire others to strengthen their relationship in the future. I love your solidity in your religion and the insight as to how it has affected your life. Very well written!

I enjoyed reading your piece on Christ and what your faith means to you. Your use of an anecdote helped to make the story seem much more authentic and intriguing. Great job.

I liked how you told the background information on how your parents were the ones that guided you towards a life of religion. Your relationship with god I feel is a positive example of how religion can impact a person and the details you gave on its effects on you really made this piece interesting to read. Good Job Austyn!

Your journey with Christ is so amazing and inspiring, it's nice to see how comfortable you are with sharing your experiences. I also really enjoyed how you try and contribute your religion into many of your relationships and put in effort to apply Christ into your daily routine. Amazing job!

Austyn, as a religious person as well, I found comfort in reading how open you are about your faith. I have grown up religious my whole life, but have had my doubts in the past. Ultimately through many experiences of trying to run away from my faith, I have found God to be a constant in my life and that spreading love to all people is the best form of displaying Christ's love for us. Thank you for sharing your testimony and allowing others to see the peace in finding a religion or something to believe in!

I admire you tremendously for being so open with sharing your faith with the world because I know that's not always an easy thing to do. I relate to your story a lot, as high school has helped me grow in my relationship with Christ as well. I hope you continue to inspire others with your story and help them strengthen their relationships with Christ as well. Amazing piece Austyn!

Unknown said...

I loved this!!! It is so hard to make strong choices like this especially in high school. People often don´t want to speak on this topic because they cover it up so I commend you. I really enjoyed how you explained how important your faith is. Its not easy being a young child of God, so keep up the amazing work!

I feel that in our society of criticism and judgement, opening up about religious experiences can be difficult. I truly appreciate you opening up to your experience with God and how much it has influenced your life, because sometimes I find it hard myself to open up about something like this. Your dedication and passion for religion inspire me to do the same and pursue what makes me happy- speaking my mind about my beliefs without fear of being judged.
