3 Signs You Have “Secondhand Faith” (And How to Fix It)

Are you praying words you’ve heard before… but not really your own?

In this video, we talk about secondhand faith — what it is, how to recognize it, and how to move from going through the motions to a real, personal relationship with God.

Many Christians grow up borrowing faith from parents, pastors, churches, or even relationships. But when life gets hard, that kind of faith often crumbles under pressure. If you’ve ever felt spiritually tired, disconnected, or unsure what you actually believe, this message is for you.

In this video, you’ll learn:
What secondhand faith really means
3 clear signs your faith might be borrowed instead of personal
Why memorized prayers and surface-level beliefs don’t sustain you
How to move from lazy faith to living hope
Why God is not afraid of your questions
How to begin forming your own convictions and beliefs

This is an honest conversation about faith, doubt, prayer, and what it looks like to actually walk with God, not just repeat religious language.

📖 “Always be prepared to give an answer for the hope that you have.” (1 Peter 3:15)

If you’ve been:
Going through the motions spiritually
Struggling with doubt or unanswered questions
Feeling burned out or fatigued in your faith
Wondering why your faith disappears in crisis

You’re not alone — and this video will help you take the next step.
