I was raised Catholic but never baptized. I am 28 and recently I started reading the Bible for the first time ever because, even though I don’t go to church, I’ve always felt deeply connected to the faith I was raised with, my culture, and my belief in God and Jesus Christ.

I started with the Gospels and read all four. Watching The Chosen actually helped me understand the parables and context a lot better. But honestly, since I already knew most of the story of Jesus, I didn’t feel completely hooked yet.

But today, I started reading the letter to the Romans and wow. Once I started, I genuinely couldn’t stop. I read the whole thing in about two hours, constantly pausing to watch videos and explanations so I wouldn’t miss anything. It completely fascinated me in a way I wasn’t expecting.

Now I honestly can’t wait to read the other letters and books. I didn’t expect this at all, but reading the Bible is genuinely starting to change my life and the way I see things.

Did anyone else have that moment with Romans or another book of the Bible where everything suddenly felt much deeper and more alive?
