What convinced you to become a Christian? I was born and raised Catholic and even though I understand and adhere to its values I really do not do much with it anymore after i became an adult.

I grew up in a relatively conservative United Church (which is no longer a church) so I've always adhered to the values as well, at least loosely like most modern pseudo Christians and agnostics do.

There was mostly only doctrine there and no active pursuance of Christ.

I have been feeling like something has been missing for a long time. I started listening to Jordan Peterson's Biblical lectures back when he began tgose and that opened to door to further study on my part.

Since then I've been seeking the truth and that has led me to God's word.

I want to pursue as many translations as I can to get as close to it as possible. I'm not a maximalist of any specific translation.

I'm continuing my journey and understanding of the word of God and I simply aknowledge that I believe in Christ and what he stands for.

Ah, i listened to those as well. Very interesting to hear his interpretation. I had been out it for too long and when i was young i found it too hard to understand.

I'm happy for you that you found your way!

If you’re looking for more practical aspects of the faith, I suggest exploring “Catholic Social Teaching” and diving into Rerum Novarum. Much of it is postliberal/integralist/distributist thought. New Polity fleshes this out as it is a wonderfully thought provoking channel and magazine that delves into a variety of more practical topics instead of staying only in the theological which is more abstract.
