Where faith and criticism share the same table

Justin has always been defined by passion, whether that meant childhood obsessions with fictional heroes, deep friendships in high school, or, later, a faith that shaped his identity, work, and future plans. He spent summers serving at a Christian camp in Running Springs, California, and balanced school with church work and an unpaid internship while preparing for a life in ministry.

But as graduation approached, Justin found himself unable to reconcile his faith with the idea that people he deeply loved, including his best friend, could be destined for eternal torment. That tension eventually led him away from Christianity, not out of indifference, but out of moral anguish.
