Episode 256. Listened to it while driving and I cried half of the time. Every. Word. resonated so deeply with me and I felt God’s love so powerfully as you described almost exactly my own journey of faith. Through describing yours. It was amazing and I thank you so much for articulately putting to words the emotions I feel and have felt through this expansion of faith. I struggle so much to accurately describe my own journey to others. Without coming across aggressive or judgemental. Also people in my life their reactions to my sharing causes some discomfort and fear, just as you so beautifully described. I was “in those chains” for most of my life and reacted to things like my own sorry in much the same way, in fear and judgement. So I understand why they react as they do. Just know how much this (and so many more) of your content buoys me up and helps me to it feel lonely or like a sinner. Instead it’s the most beautiful, spirit-filled journey I’ve been on since I can remember. And your wisdom and ability to describe with words these concepts is like a God-send. Thank you thank you for your work and study.
