write anything about your past that you believe influences your present beliefs and spirituality. Also, include how the things you recall work together to affect one another and ultimately your present and future. Essentially you are writing your “life story” related to your religious and spiritual development. You might want to include aspects of your family and religious upbringing, as well as your personal thoughts, experiences, and struggles. Be sure to focus more on what you think or thought about these things and how they have affected your development than just the events themselves. Feel free to get as personal as you want. something from my past that influences my Christian beliefs would be my parent’s divorce. you can make up whatever you liked based on that
