All through my 20s, I felt like I had
00:00:01
this homeschool mom on my shoulder who
00:00:02
was judging me and judging my decisions
00:00:04
and like judging the fact that I even
00:00:06
wanted to like be more secular or even
00:00:09
present as more worldly. So, it really
00:00:11
didn't start to change until my late
00:00:12
20s,
00:00:14
um if I'm being honest. But, I think
00:00:15
that college was the space where I began
00:00:17
to realize that Oh, you know what? All
00:00:19
of these kids that went to public
00:00:20
school, they love God. They are not
00:00:22
terrible people.
