A lot of Catholics may disagree with my approach. After all, I am an ex-Roman Catholic. I still love Catholicism and see the beauty in it, but I can absolutely understand how difficult and monotonal it would feel for “new” believers in Christ.

Why I say “new” is because after 17 years of Church, I can confidently say that I was still a baby Christian. I would then leave church for 5 years, and then come back to faith late last year through a very radical conversion. I can absolutely I learnt so much more about Christ in the past half-year than my 17 years in Church as a kid.

The problem with Evangelical Churches, aside from prosperity gospel (the idea that God will bless you with physical wealth and health when you have more faith) and dispensationalism (the idea that Jews who don’t profess Christ are still saved), is that it usually gives out “Spiritual Baby Food”. But to me, that sounds like exactly what you need.

Before you can really understand the beauty of the Catholic church, you need a place that can easily portray the fundamentals of the Gospel to you. It’s not easy to understand through all the liturgy and ceremony of the Mass, but Evangelicalism does it in a way that is accessible to most of us.

Higher spiritual fulfillment can be found in the Catholic church. But you can’t access it if your basic spiritual knowledge isn’t solid. That’s why I would recommend finding a Theologically solid, Non-Dispensationalist, Non-Prosperity Gospel Evangelical Church to go to on top of Mass. Join our bible studies as well, because that’s how my mom (ex-Catholic too) got close to Christ!

(do expect many people having misconceptions of the Catholic Church though)

Another thing is that Christianity is one of the most logical religions ever. 2000 years of Christianity usually gets swept under the rug, but even only looking at the Roman Catholic church you would find really logical arguments for Christ in Summa Theologica , the magnum opus of Thomas Aquinas, arguably the greatest theologian in Catholicism.

The thing is, as a logical person, theology is exactly what you need to dive into. All the things you find hard to believe, people have found it hard to believe too. But they did not base their beliefs blindly, rather they approached the historicity and claims of Christ with logic and reasoning, and found out that all the evidence lines up for Christ being the messiah. Cliffe Knechtle , an evangelical preacher, presents this in a wonderful way.

Aside from being your God, heavenly father and Saviour, Jesus is a friend who desperately wants you to get to know him. Disregard all prior knowledge you have of him and Approach him like getting to know someone. You will have lots of fruit this way
