This is so healing for me. When I first came across your newsletter, I read some things that strikes the Christianity I had come to know growing up as a Nigerian international missions kid in a majority white international school. I was worried I wouldn't connect. However, the God I've come to know stopped me from blocking out a perspective I am not used to. He told me (I believe and am paraphrasing a bit) Lois, don't be so quick to block something that can help you, even if it's different from what you are used to. Then as I have been reading week after week staying on and connecting with your words has been an incredibly healing process for me. So thank you. Truly God is not to be boxed up by human behavior and interpretations, God shows Himself in new ways and surprises me all the time. One thing is for sure, despite all the pain, questions and gaps in this life, love is the signal that rings most true about the God I've come to know. About the Jesus I love and who loves me.

Robert, this so resonates with me as I shift from a paradigm of apologist-level certainty of definitions to a humbled, curious, sometimes raging, sometimes ecstatic walker with God. So many people are getting hurt out here, run over by the certainty (whether in belief or unbelief) of others.
