I think Skye had some valid points and I have experience similar situations with evangelical settings over the years. I could have misunderstood or misheard, but it felt cynical, pessimistic, and limiting of the Holy Spirit to work. I had a hard time listening to it and felt a heaviness afterwards. It felt like there may still be unresolved hurt from those experiences he shared - which I get because I also had hurt from experiences myself. There is no perfect setting or church body, plus people are diverse and respond differently to different environments. I think the amazing thing about God is that his grace and love is so expansive that it works in so many ways, in so many traditions, denominations, environments, and settings. I know people that had real encounters with God in some similar settings mentioned in the reading that resulted in good long lasting fruit and real surrenders to Christ. What is also amazing is that while God doesn’t want us to be subjected to pain and suffering, he works through it and transforms us. I came out the other side of my experiences closer to Christ, more surrendered and whole. While I wouldn’t wish it on anyone, i also wouldn’t change a thing. Not to say we shouldn’t be discerning and wise and leave unhealthy situations, but also wary of cynicism and bitterness. Again, I respect Syke, no judgement - I appreciate his comments and he has a lot of valid points we need to consider.

This takes me straight back to college days of the parachurch, which were formative times of faith & personal growth. They were mostly a gift, in my case. Speaking for GenX, many of us chased those mountaintop experiences because that’s all we knew. The story of Josh is sad, but all too common, not just in the 90’s, but today in our churches. I don’t wanna be a “downer,” but I am also over the big events with celebs and emotional appeals. I can’t explain it to those who are still cheerleading the big events, but I feel like I’m gonna be okay. Even if “I’m missing out.” So yeah, reflecting on how we are formed in Christ is what helps us to live in the ordinary parts of real life.

Hueston Woods is one heck of a nice sanctuary.
