If you grew up in church but no longer fit in an evangelical church setting, finding community can feel impossible. Maybe you still love Jesus, but you want to wrestle with hard questions that your current faith can't answer. Maybe you have an issue with traditional gender roles or think that the Bible isn't completely perfect. Or you've simply given up discussing social issues with your conservat

Really interesting article about Rob Bell (from “Love Wins” infamy) and how faith and spirituality have both changed and not changed for him since leaving the “other” Mars Hill Church in 2010:
“For the church, the breaking point with Bell was Love Wins. Although Bell never definitively wrote that hell didn’t exist, asking the question was considered sinful. “Evangelical Christianity is rooted in certainties about heaven and hell,” said Kent Dobson, who replaced Bell at Mars Hill. “Rob wasn’t trying to be controversial, but he was pressing against the psychological foundations of faith. People believe because it gives them the certainty of being in the right group. Anyone who challenges the notion of who’s in and who’s out must be attacked.”

Hey fam, we are finally having another meeting (sorry we suck at social media and would love more help/input in that area)! This time we will have a panel discussion around mental health and church/religious trauma. If you grew up in the evangelical church like we did, you were probably taught to not trust real therapy or any “secular” mental health resources, so this meeting is centered around discussing how therapy can actually make your life better and how to navigate the therapy process! We will also give people a chance to discuss church/religious trauma and ways they have found to work through it! So come on out and join us on Sunday afternoon, November 7th, 2-5(ish)pm at 102 Perrin Circle, Seaford, VA, 23696. Bring a friend, a chair, your favorite beverage or snack and an open mind! You can email us at: [email protected] for more info or to RSVP!

Co-sign! There are terrible people inside and outside of the church, and you can tell who they are by the fruit of how they treat others (especially the people who can’t do anything for them). How we treat people truly matters and says a lot about who we really are: not who we say we are or who we are told we need to be. It takes hard work to get down to the person you really are underneath all of the masking and mixed messaging. But it’s worth it! You’re worth it…
