Today, I am embracing faith, deeply troubled by the West’s moral decay and the erosion of its foundational principles. The left’s promotion of wokism and its tendency to brand common-sense conservative views as extremist is profoundly concerning.
The assassination of Charlie Kirk has been a pivotal moment, inspiring me to integrate faith and religion into my life. How can I begin this spiritual journey?

If you are looking to embrace faith, as a humble bitcoiner myself, I can say there is no better place to start than the word of God. Charlie Kirk would say the same. 

Its been long written down.
Look to the good book.
I really like this one year bible podcast. 3 - 4 chapters per day, different book each day, reads from multiple versions. Nearly half of most episodes is commentary so typically less than 20 minutes of reading per episode. Plus it's #v4v enabled for boostagrams.

Start with the ancient Greeks.
I would suggest reading the Bible.
Start with Matthew Mark Luke and John.

Buy a bible, best is KJV, pray before you read. God will lead you in his truth.
Beautiful outlaw by John Eldredge is a good place to start
Just a random bible on Amazon? 😅
I recommend new American standard bible 1995 version.
Go to Divine Liturgy
Creia em Jesus Cristo. Ore a Ele. Leia na Bíblia o Evangelho de João.
Liturgia não pode salvar. Nenhuma denominação ou religião pode perdoar pecados. Apena Jesus O Cristo.
Read the New Testament. ESV or NKJV translations are a good place to start.
I pray God will continue to open the eyes of your heart.
Atos 2:40-47
40 E com muitas outras palavras dava testemunho e os exortava, dizendo: “Salvai-vos desta geração perversa.”
41 Então, os que de bom grado receberam a sua palavra foram batizados; e, naquele dia, agregaram-se quase três mil almas.
42 E perseveravam na doutrina dos apóstolos, na comunhão, no partir do pão e nas orações.
43 Em cada alma havia temor; e muitos prodígios e sinais eram feitos por intermédio dos apóstolos.
44 Todos os que criam estavam juntos e tinham tudo em comum.
45 Vendiam suas propriedades e bens, e repartiam com todos, segundo a necessidade de cada um.
46 Diariamente perseveravam unânimes no templo, partiam o pão de casa em casa, e tomavam as suas refeições com alegria e singeleza de coração,
47 louvando a Deus e contando com a simpatia de todo o povo. E o Senhor lhes acrescentava, dia a dia, os que iam sendo salvos.
It might be helpful to go to a Barnes and noble or local book store. Get one that feels good in your hands and the pages don’t feel like they will rip apart on the 2nd use (issue with Amazon/ordering online).
As a fellow #Bitcoiner I humbly suggest the book "The Gospel According to Bitcoin" to you, written by Dan Sherman and Jordan Bush.

Also, the reason I recommend New American standard bible 1995 version is because the consensus by people I trust on these matters believe it's the version that hews most closely to the translations of the ancient greek and it also has annotations to help you understand words/phrases that are difficult to perfectly translate into English.
By putting down your phone
buy the ESV bible and remember:
The true meaning of “church” in the Bible, from the original Greek, is ekklesia (ἐκκλησία), which means “called-out assembly.” It does not refer to a building but to the body of believers—those called out of the world by God to be His holy people, founded upon faith in Jesus Christ.
Throughout the New Testament, the Church is described in several key ways:
The Body of Christ (1 Corinthians 12:27, Ephesians 1:22-23): All true believers are united spiritually with Christ as His living body on earth, each with unique roles but under His headship.
The Bride of Christ (Ephesians 5:25-27, Revelation 19:7): The Church is depicted as the pure, spotless bride whom Christ loves, sanctifies, and will one day fully unite with.
The Temple of the Holy Spirit (1 Corinthians 3:16, Ephesians 2:19-22): Together, believers form a spiritual temple where God dwells by His Spirit—built on the foundation of the apostles and prophets, with Christ as the cornerstone.
The Pillar and Foundation of the Truth (1 Timothy 3:15): The Church is entrusted with upholding and proclaiming God’s revealed truth in Scripture.
From a Biblical Christian perspective, the true Church is not defined by denominational labels, rituals, or buildings, but by faithfulness to Christ’s teachings, adherence to sound doctrine, and the spiritual unity of regenerate believers. It is an organic, living body—not an institution—and it exists to worship God, disciple nations, and proclaim the Gospel until Christ returns.
Just don't buy the the forgery, The Scofield Bible brought to you by your 'master race'.
Start by reading the Word of God! Pray that God will reveal to you what He wants you to see and guide your steps. Also look for a local church, it doesn’t have to be the perfect church, but just finding a group of believers to surround you is immensely helpful.
Repeat these words: "Jesus, I believe that God raised you from the dead after you were crucified for the sins of humanity, and all of my sins. I believe you Jesus Christ are LORD, so I accept you now as LORD and savior and center of my life. I will center myself in you Jesus, the Heavenly Father, and the Holy Spirit, and in your love for me, for the rest of my life and eternity."
This begins your journey with Jesus Christ, the Father, and the Holy Spirit.
Now, whether with pen and paper or typing, begin a journal document and write to Jesus, Heavenly Father, or Holy Spirit or all three, all of your positive, negative, and/or neutral secrets, which can include your thoughts and feelings and opinions. And then, write down what they are saying to you, but if it doesn't align with 1 Corinthians 13, it's not God since God is love.
As you develop this daily habit, I humbly suggest reading the Bible regularly. The Gospel of John may be a good place to start because God is love, and the apostle John lived in the love of God.
Then remember this theological principle: as you read about him and who he is and what he did:
Jesus Christ is perfect theology.
If an interpretation of scripture doesn't align with who Jesus presented himself as and what he did and how he interacted with the Heavenly Father, and other people, it's not true, since Jesus Christ is The Truth.
Many will try to deify other Biblical figures, and while they can be learned from, none of them are Jesus Christ, God embodied.
Then find a church that values the presence of God, seeking intimacy with Him through worship and relationship, truth and freedom, not control and fear and self-flagellation, since relationship with Jesus does not involve punishment.
While searching for a church like this, I humbly recommend watching the services and listening to the messages of Bethel Church:

Bless you on your journey!
Imagine worshiping a religion of the middle eastern man.
Give your life to Christ, accept him as your Personal lord and saviour, get baptised ASAP, message me when you get the baptism done..
If you have any questions, please don't hesitate to ask me here, and my DMs are open too.
If you want some online content, Wes Huff has an amazing understanding of the bible and Christianity. I recommend following him. Here he is talking about what happened.

Like you did, by asking, is a great start.
As others have mentioned, the Bible is the best place to continue your journey.
It is the foundation and source of truth, morals, and principles. It's also how you verify what is said and taught by others.
At the beginning I wouldn't worry too much about which version, there are whole debates about that. Just pick a respectable one, and in time keep comparing them and do research, but don't let the translation keep you from reading it. Read all of it and dig into it and pay attention to context. And find out who Jesus is.
Pray and humbly seek God.
Connect with others on their journey, we can challenge each other's beliefs and answer questions, and hopefully all grow in the process. Check out your local meetups (churches), basic check are they loving people and seeking God and His will? (Greatest commandments)
There are countless resources to help, and some have already been mentioned, so I don't want to overwhelm you.
If I/we can help, please ask.
Go to mass.🙏✝️
Jesus Christ is the risen LORD of the universe
So worship Him alone
