A Year Abroad and the Unraveling of Certainty
What happens when everything you've built your life upon suddenly feels foreign? When I stepped off the plane in Oxford at twenty-two, I carried more than suitcases-I carried three decades of Sunday school answers, a pastor father's certainty, and the comfortable weight of never having questioned whether God existed. Oxford, with its ancient spires and empty church pews, would strip all of that away. This wasn't the dramatic crisis you see in movies. It was quieter, colder-like watching ice cubes melt in your hands while you desperately try to hold them tighter. Imagine growing up so immersed in church that you literally played jail under communion tables while your father preached. My childhood wasn't punctuated by church-it was constructed from it. Saturday nights ended early for Sunday services. Spring breaks meant church ski trips. Summers belonged to church camp. The octagonal building on Fredericksburg Road with its blue-cushioned pews wasn't just where we worshipped; it was my neighborhood, my social world, my identity. When people talk about "owning your faith," I genuinely didn't understand. How do you own your last name more than you already do? How do you separate yourself from something that grew inside you like roots anchoring you to holy ground? This is the peculiar challenge of the pastor's kid, the lifelong churchgoer, the person for whom faith and identity are so tangled that pulling one thread threatens to unravel everything. For anyone raised in a faith tradition, there comes a moment when you must ask: Would I believe this if I hadn't been taught to? That question terrified me. But sometimes terror is just transformation wearing an unfamiliar face.
