Well said, oddly enough I get most of my knowledge from HP+. I don’t think y’all are wolves but I should try to have more interactions with people in person.
“…it means granting more authority to the incarnate spiritual mothers and fathers, brothers and sisters, in your life, and less to the social media voices, podcasters, and celebrity authors you can never truly know.” Thank you for saying this. I need to pray for more in real life community, and seek out community with Christians with whom I disagree. It’s hard that my biggest, most significant questions seem to be ones I’d want go to you, your colleagues, and your guests with. I don’t personally know anyone (besides my husband) who has depth of knowledge of Scripture, is egalitarian, believes biblical marriage is between one man and one woman, is politically moderate, and bears good spiritual fruit in their life. I encourage you to consider that life for many people is different from yours in the Chicago suburbs. You have proximity to lots of different Christ-followers.
I recently moved from a small rural space to an urban one. I have found a church with more people who believe like me. However, it stretched me and grew me to worship with Christ-followers who disagreed. To love them well and be loved well. I miss their perspectives too. It isn’t easy but it’s possible. Be encouraged to try again!
