Getting Out of the Christian Labyrinth
We get a lot of emails from beloved souls who have been absolutely terrified by their church and Christian friends.
Cause, you know, that’s so Christlike. (sigh)
They are told that they’re not enough, that their parents are right, their pastors are right, and they’re just awful if they can’t change their fundamental core. That they are doomed.
No Beloved, you’re NOT doomed!
Today we talk about two kinds of Christianity and faith. They are very different, and WE get to decide which we want to be part of.
