I'm an accidental writer.
I was raised in a tribal situation, among cannibal people.
Part of my journey is to say that the soul of the human being must be a massively intricate, wonderful creation that God has a respect for in ways that we do not and that leaves a huge amount of space to go explore.
Don't ever discount the wonder of your tears. They can be healing waters and a stream of joy. Sometimes they are the best words the heart can speak.
You cannot heal yourself. You cannot heal anybody else. We're designed to do this in community because we were created inside community for community by community.
I had a very angry father and was disconnected from my family.
I really do believe that God is love, one of deep affection and grace and forgiveness and inspiration.
Jesus is not the 'founder of Christianity.'
I think people are tired of religion and how it divides and damages people. You can name it whatever you want, Islam or Christianity, but if you have a system in which God is distant and angry all the time, and you're trying to please him through the right disciplines, it isn't going to work for everyone.
Submission is not about authority and it is not obedience; it is all about relationships of love and respect.
