NFL quarterback Aaron Rodgers has revealed that differing opinions about religion have been a major factor in his strained relationship with his family over the years. In a new Netflix docuseries, “Aaron Rodgers: Enigma,” the 41-year-old star opens up about how his spiritual journey and growing doubts about his Christian upbringing led to a rift between him and his loved ones.
Rodgers credits author Rob Bell’s teachings as a key moment in his transformation, saying he found a new perspective on faith that helped him “unravel” his childhood beliefs. He began questioning organized religion and eventually criticized its dogma and ideology in a 2020 podcast episode. The comments left his family “dismayed,” according to an insider.
Despite the controversy, Rodgers remains optimistic about reconciliation with his family, stating he wants them to find their own path without causing strife or issues. “We’re just different steps on the timeline of our own journeys,” he says in the documentary. With all three episodes now streaming on Netflix, fans can delve into Rodgers’ spiritual journey and explore the complexities of his relationships.
