So, ultimately I hope this website is about you and your journey. I hope you find confirmation here for things God has already put in your heart, even if they don’t fit into many of the religious voices and forms of our day. The life of Jesus was never meant to be a religion of rituals and rules to practice. Rather, Jesus has invited you into a transforming friendship with him that will allow you to share in his unfolding purpose in the earth even as his character and grace take shape in you.

Thanks so much for your openness and transparency in the face of such a difficult time in your life. I have often felt that God meets us where we need Him. Many people like you these days are finding their inspiration outside the walls of church. To me, that doesn’t mean that He can’t be found there, but only means that for some church is neither relevant nor necessary for the growth of their relationship with God.

For me, I have lived most of my life outside the walls of church, and yet, I feel a closeness and a walk with God that is more relevant than anything else in my life. I, too, find it hard to get inside the walls after having lived outside them for so long. Instead, I find God in the give and take of everyday relationships. God’s voice is to me like a whisper in the wind, and the more I strain to hear it, the more I love what I hear.
