Episode 5 I Didn’t Lose Faith. I Lost the Frame.

There’s a common assumption that those who walk away from religion have simply lost their faith. But that’s not always the case.

For many, it’s not faith that disappears—it’s the frame that breaks.

The frame is the structure we inherited: the doctrines, the boundaries, the certainties, the systems. When that frame begins to crack—whether from personal disillusionment, intellectual tension, or moral concern—it can feel like the entire painting is falling apart.

But sometimes, what we’re losing isn’t the art. It’s just the old frame that held it.

This episode explores how faith can survive—and even thrive—beyond the confines of inherited belief. We consider what happens when the need for rigid certainty fades, and how a deeper kind of meaning can emerge through myth, metaphor, and sacred imagination.

You don’t have to throw the canvas away just because the frame no longer fits.
