Sam you are literally doing God's work. Whenever I see the acronym WWJD , I think of you. Pastors and other " religious leaders" are just judgemental humans with an agenda. God forgives, he does not condemn, as he gave his only Son to die for out sins. Never let the ignorance of small minded people stop you in your mission🙏🏻💙
Thank you so much my sweet friend, that is an incredible compliment. I definitely have to take breaks from time to time, as it gets so intense, but I always find a way to keep moving forward.
Have pastors never read Elijah, Job, or various Psalms, all of which describe deep struggles with depression and what would now be called suicidal ideation? It's not just an astounding lack of biblical love and grace, it's a lack of biblical literacy they’re displaying.
Thank you for addressing why millennials are leaving churches. It needs to be looked at!
Right?!?! It is wiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiild how anyone could read that book and then act the way they do. I wrote that a long time ago trying to help when almost everyone I knew that grew up in the church had left. Sadly, it seems to have gotten worse since I first wrote about it. Thanks so much for sharing such a great perspective with me and everyone in this community. Really appreciate you.
Two thoughts have helped me through those times. One, there is one Judge i am aiming to please, and you aren’t it. Two, from Howard Hendricks i think, if you don’t make waves, the boats not moving. Thanks for your poat.
I read your books and I'm sorry you went through all of that and still are. That's a terrible thing to say to someone. I liked your post about millenials because it was pretty accurate and the people that get mad don't want to change or believe they are wrong in some way. You are doing things right by trying to help people.
I will say the opposite of those critics. I want you to stay alive! As you like to say Recklessly Alive.
Your words, "Trying to help people in the real world is rarely neat. It’s messy and complicated, and no matter how carefully you approach it, someone will eventually decide you’re doing it wrong," hit home for me. Thank you for imparting your wisdom and understanding. You make a difference.

Always take breaks for self care, rest and just to mentally relax. You are so deserving of giving yourself grace🙌
