We said it with conviction: Relationship, not religion.

And something came alive. The distant God drew near. We could finally know Him.

But somewhere along the way, something went missing. Not doctrine. Not sincerity. Something harder to name.

What if, in fleeing dead religion, we left behind the very practices that keep faith alive?

REDEEMING RELIGION is not a return to empty ritual. It is an invitation to recover what the Desert Fathers knew: that experience without formation is a house built on sand.

These pages won't give you a formula. They'll give you something older:

• Why rest and peace are not the same-and why it matters
• What it means to remain when God feels far away
• How discipline becomes communion when we stop performing
• A faith that doesn't depend on feelings to survive

The storm is coming. Perhaps it is already here.

But the ancient paths still lead somewhere.
