External Resource Links
Below are resources we've found helpful and illuminating, especially for those coming from the nonaffirming Christian church and deconstructing their faith. As a bit of a disclaimer, I strongly believe that everyone, including wise teachers, are sometimes wrong. You may not agree with some of the beliefs shared on these links—in fact, I may not agree with all of them myself—but they are here for your convenience and exploration. We are always invited into honest inquiry without fear, and by the guidance of Spirit, we are to chew the meat and spit out the bones. If you have questions or comments regarding these resources, please contact us.​
