Hi, I recently moved to the US, and I’ve decided that I no longer want to be part of INC. This has been something I’ve been thinking about for a while, and I’ve realized that I can’t continue with a religion/church that I no longer genuinely believe in.

The hardest part is my mom. She told me that if I leave INC, she will never communicate with me again. That really hurts because I love my mom and obviously don’t want to lose my relationship with her over religion.

I’m struggling with how to explain to her that I believe faith and spirituality should be personal. I want my relationship with God to come from my own beliefs and convictions, not from fear, pressure, or the fear of losing my family.

For those who have gone through something similar, especially those who have left Iglesia Ni Cristo, how did you handle it with your family? Is there a way I can explain this to my mom so she can understand where I’m coming from?
