“This is about more than politics. Politics is the evidence of collapse. The Evangelical Industrial Complex (churches, para churches, media, institutions, etc.) needs an overhaul. Six months ago I didn’t have an Instagram following and then this reel (with different music) went viral and here you all are! 😂👏 You guys, it’s been a week. (And yes, I got caught in the rain.) A LONG week that was also super full and I haven’t had a minute of extra time to create anything. So instead, here’s a little bit about me. In case you were wondering where I got the ideas from my stickers. 😆 Some were from great authors and others were from not as great men. 😬 I’ll be honest, it’s taken a lot of work to rethink my beliefs around emotions and faith. Nopety-NOPE! Been there, done that, not doing it again. Many thanks to @bethallisonbarr and her books for the final push in setting me free. 😁👏 Seriously though—can we get a new timeline? So here’s a story for you from the cult days. 🤣 (And I totally spelled “weird” wrong. I promise that has more to do with long days at work than it does with being homeschooled.) If God really believes in sweeping people’s sin issues under the rug to protect His name, wouldn’t He have left certain stories out of the Bible? Stories like David & Bathsheba, or Samson & Delilah? If God really feels that it is vitally important to hide issues for the sake of Christ, why did Ananias and Sapphira die publicly?

    Here We Go Again

    Another well-known Christian influencer, raised in church and the son of a pastor, has come forward to say that he no longer believes in God. John Steingard, lead vocalist of the band Hawk Nelson shared via Instagram how his doubts and questions have brought him to this place. Here we go again. If you’ve been around this blog or listened to my podcast, then you will know that I have no judgement for people who walk away from Christianity. Doubt, and questions, and lost faith are legitimate experiences and can be incredibly valuable. No, I have no problem with people who walk away, but I have a huge problem with…

    The God Who Wants to Be Found – Pt. 1

    Is God truly loving? And if He is, then how can He condemn millions of people to hell? If God is really good, then what about all the people in the world who have lived and died without ever hearing the gospel? How can people be responsible for their sin if they never knew anything different? What if they were sincerely following their religion? Shouldn’t that count? If God condemns people to hell who aren’t responsible, then He can’t be good and loving. He must be angry and horrible. Who wants to believe in that kind of God anyway? “The space between doubting God’s goodness and doubting His existence is…

    Rediscovering Jesus – Rediscovering the Bible (Part 1)

    When people of other religions become Christians, they leave behind their old religious books, the Quran, the Book of Mormon, etc. and start reading the Bible. It seems obvious. But, how do you leave behind the Bible and then start reading the Bible? How do you locate the truth when it’s supposedly found in the book that was used to tell you lies? How do you unravel lies about the God of Christianity without leaving Christianity altogether? These are legitimate and difficult questions. Unfortunately, the Bible can be used to say just about anything. Grab a verse here and a verse there, or just half of a verse, and you…
