Alana Lagares on Leaving Calvinism After 19 Years

Alana was a rock solid Calvinist for most of her adult life. Until she wasn’t.

When she shared her story on CensorTube, it opened the floodgates for many people to share their own painful experiences with the theology, churches, and leaders of Calvinism. 

Alana went on Soteriology 101 with Leighton Flowers to discuss her experiences up to that point. 

On a personal note, around the 59:30 mark is a comment from the chat and then a bit of discussion about it. The chat comment is:

Children is the first and best reason to leave a Calvinist church.

Yes.

So thankful as a mother that God led us away from that theology and system while Caroline was still young enough to not really be impacted by it.

So. Thankful.

I’m a Christian, wife, homeschool mom, battle-seasoned blogger, and happy warrior for Christ. I discuss how Christians who don’t fit dominant institutional church and cultural narratives are already living truthfully and faithfully in the body of Christ.

“Now the Bereans were more noble-minded than the Thessalonians, for they received the message with great eagerness and examined the Scriptures every day to see if these teachings were true.” Acts 17:11

A Christian Nation

"The real object of the first amendment was not to countenance, much less to advance, Mahometanism, or Judaism, or infidelity, by prostrating Christianity; but to exclude all rivalry among christian sects, and to prevent any national ecclesiastical establishment, which should give to a hierarchy the exclusive patronage of the national government."

Joseph Story (Associate Justice of the Supreme Court), Commentaries on the Constitution of the United States (1833), § 1871.

countenance: To favor; to encourage by opinion or words; To encourage; to appear in defense (Websters Dictionary 1828)
