I was just referred to your posts, and Part 1 perfectly describes the season I am in due to disillusionment and wounds from the church. The word "untethered" has stuck with me. There is beauty and healing from being untethered. I look forward to what God has for me in this space. Thank you for all that you're doing. I'm sure there are so many people who can identify and receive help from your writings.

I just read your post and then read the following in Richard Rohr's daily reading. I enjoy reading him. Sometimes I feel he is a heretic, and other times I gain a refreshing perspective. I enjoy stepping out of my theological comfort zone sometimes. Any way this seemed to fit so well with your writing on the church. Part of the problem is that when we set up systems, the system itself works against self-reflection and transparency. Like Moses, I have sometimes 'fled' from ministry when faced with the capacity of my ugly flesh. https://cac.org/daily-meditations/surprised-by-our-shadow/

Thank you for your courageous writing. The journey through all human brokenness is laborious, ours and others, but we journey with hope. May we all first examine our own souls, like you have done. ♥️
