Ohh these hit for me, especially “What freedoms do you lose by mostly talking about spirituality?⁣” I try to make that answer “none” lol but I know that’s not true.

Thank you for speaking your truth. I believe God is speaking through you and the ripple effect is massive.

Maybe you're a John the Baptist or a fiery Old Testament desert Prophet. Very very hard.

Or maybe it's called authenticity. I remember reading about someone flipping tables in a temple.

i like it all.

when i finally understood that even the best sin, it opened up a lot of space.

being curious is always a strategy that keeps things civil.

a mantra i've put into my calendar to pop up at least once a month is, "remember they may have a point."

shifting the narrative even a little bit helps

people fail, sin, hurt, and basically can suck. see what i did there? "can suck"... that means not always and not forever.

Plus i get Middle school cred for using that annoying phraseology of "see what i did there?"

I simply must have this print framed in my office as a reminder of all this post contains. Plus, it fits my vibe anyway.
