The first time I left the United States, I was traveling
as a student in the Middle East. Like many who leave
home only to learn as much about their own culture
as the one they've journeyed to, I quickly found myself

So often it is in the experience of life outside your
familiar world that the first glimpses of your own
worldview come into focus. I was soon troubled
by the previously unconsidered thought of how
much my environment shaped my understanding
of the world, life, faith, and God. Everything suddenly
seemed so much more complicated than it was before.
