  • What’s in a name?

    If you are going to open up the conversation in an attempt to understand where women fit in… learn the authors name of the book you are referencing and then use that name as fluently as you would a male author that you’re talking about. Just some intentional homework before you try to appear inclusive.

People who are indoctrinated are not going to pursue unity! While it is nice to preach that, it shows a lack of understanding the indoctrination. Please listen to po... more

The non dogmatic, philosophical approach to faith has given me a new outlook on Christianity. Being able to think about things on a more analytical level has been key to my openness to returning to the church. My path back began through Buddhism and meditation and then looking into the Christian mystics and Christi... more
