Hello friends,
New blog post up this morning called, “Don’t Invalidate My Experience”.
I hope it encourages you!

“About a year ago a friend from my former Evangelical Tribe messaged me on Facebook and told me that my time out in the wilderness has been cute, but that it's time for me to come back to the church and join God in what he's doing. My friend told me that my experience in the church doesn't represent the church very well and that the theology I was taught (although terrible) also doesn't represent the church very well.
"The Church", he said, "is bigger than your experience and you need to come back to it. You have enough education to know that the way you speak of the Church doesn't represent the larger Church very well." He then went on to tell me about all the positive experiences he's had in his church and the experiences he had growing up that were nothing like my experiences and made me feel like his experiences were the norm whereas my experiences were an exaggerated anomaly.”
