Good morning my friends! I really like what @Amy said on her blog post today: "If you have been spiritually abused and need a safe place to find hope and healing, I urge you to check out (The Lasting Supper)" Thanks Amy! It reminded me of something I read today by...
the process is the product
I remember some years ago a friend of mine started a small group in his home. He said that he was looking forward to having a really dynamic discussion group. The first few meetings went fine, as typical. But then conflicts began to arise and conversations got...
structure your sojourn
When you leave the church, you might feel a little lost. You might feel that your spirituality, like water poured out of a bottle, is just spreading out in all directions with no focus. You might feel as though your spirit has dissipated like helium in the atmosphere....
