“One who simply repeats old phrases takes no risks; it is easy to remain orthodox and hew to the old line. But one who speaks to this hour’s need and translates the message will always be skirting the edge of heresy… Only the one who risks heresies can gain the truth.”
God bless you on this new-found stand, Jonas! When I first discovered you in 2017, this is where you already were... only outside the church ministry. That is what drew you to me as a follower of your writings. It has never interested me to hear the regurgitating of what I was raised on. New insights unfold daily to those who are open to receiving them; you definitely are one of them!
Run with it Jonas! Above all else your honesty will guide you to truths that many will identify with. I find you to have a thoughtful, well rounded approach to finding your way with an open mind.
I don't always agree with you, and I don't always agree with my own pastors. That does not shake my faith. It does, however, make me think. It makes me examine my position on the matter, and sometimes it changes my mind or changes my outlook. In my opinion, we should always be doing just that! When we get too comfortable with our opinions or age-old thoughts, it means we are not growing. Thanks for giving me new views on old topics.

Thank you so much for taking the risk - you are my touchstone for walking this journey! I appreciate all you are and do!
