My Experience As A Pastor Is Lots

It Is Trusting That I Am Loved. That I Always Have Been. That I Always Will Be. I Don't Have To Do Anything. I Don't Have To Prove Anything, Or Achieve Anything, Or Accomplish One More Thing. That, Exactly As I Am, I Am Totally Accepted, Forgiven, And There Is Nothing I Could Ever Do To Lose This Acceptance.

God Is Bigger Than The Christian Faith.

I Am For Marriage. I Am For Fidelity. I Am For Love, Whether It's A Man And Woman, A Woman And A Woman, A Man And A Man.

To Elevate Abstract Doctrines And Dogmas Over Living, Breathing, Embodied Experiences Of God's Love And Grace, Then, Is Going The Wrong Direction. It's Taking Flesh And Turning It Back Into Words.

It Is Better To Be Fully Present And Rested And Engaged For One Thing Than Rushed, Distracted, And Scattered For Ten.
