Millennial math is knowing we're doing well when we can put all of our bills straight to auto-pay. That's *real* wealth right there.

I spent the last decade sitting at the feet of some abusive men and contrasting their leadership w/what I saw in simple, faithful Indigenous churches in our ministry context. I miss being the outsider, quietly watching the Holy Spirit move in these congregations, and I didn't even realize how much

The "No matter who's President, JESUS is King!" crowd fails to see what the election of this president says about the Kingdom. It's more than anger over values we won't see reflected in national leadership- We're also seeing the loss of those values in the church, and looking for a place to grieve.

Hey everyone! By way of introduction: I'm a mom of 6, married to Andy for a couple of decades at this point. Until last year we served as missionaries in Indonesia. We were forced to resign over "differing values" after we went forward about abuse cover-ups and a drunken leader calling me at night.
