Thank you so much for being willing to share your faith journey so openly and honestly. It complicates my understandings is ways that are welcome and refreshing. Grateful to you.
Thanks, Amara. I’m very much so stumbling along and finding my way, and I like sharing the bits that have been truly healing and liberating for me. It’s not a tidy process by any means, with tensions and complications along the path, but I find clarity and meaning as I write it all out.
Bethaney, your whole journey is so incredibly inspiring - thank you for your vulnerability in sharing it all. You've put into words so many of my own struggles over the years...I had fallen into vague spirituality before finding my way into Christianity, and your whole take on it is spot-on. Though I'm thankful to have gotten more used to the idea of 'mystery' through that period, ultimately, it was a distraction from the truth, a self-idolization, an obsession with control and selfishness.
Seeing that framework for Adam & Eve is SUPER helpful, too. Thanks be to God that you found your way into Orthodoxy!
