Joe, thank you. I appreciate the resonance we share with Church shopping, the disconnect to Church at times, and traveling the in-between spaces.

I'm grateful to hear your family's Church has so many great people; what a gift. And I feel the ache of needing more authenticity and intellectual connection in it at different times. Life can be so paradoxical.

Thank you for sharing your appreciation of my recent essay. It's been quite a journey, as I am sure you can relate to, given the essay series you published months ago with your own critiques and experiences of this big movement. I appreciated you speaking up and giving voice to everything you did a lot.

And yes, enlivening loving relationships are so essential to our human flourishing. I deeply long for our species to grow in this arena.
