I Left Christianity After 40 Years and Found My True Home - Mrs Batya

Welcome to Zero Percent, the podcast that explores the outsized impact of the Jewish people!

🌟 Join us as Batya shares her remarkable journey from a non-religious upbringing in small-town Colorado to discovering her Jewish soul through unexpected encounters and deep spiritual questioning. Follow her transformation from a devoted Christian raising three children in the church to finding profound meaning in Jewish tradition, sparked by meeting an Orthodox Jewish classmate in graduate school.

Despite leaving behind a lifetime of Christian faith and facing the challenges of divorce and starting anew, Batya's story reveals profound spiritual fulfillment, authentic connection with God, and the unexpected ways life leads us to our true purpose. Her journey from Sunday services to Shabbat candles illustrates how our deepest questions sometimes lead us to the most meaningful answers.

Whether you're curious about conversion, seeking spiritual authenticity, or interested in personal transformation, Batya's story offers a poignant glimpse into the journey of choosing Judaism and finding your spiritual home.
