I\u2019ve made some pretty radical moves in my day. The latest one was when I left the ministry and my church all of a sudden a couple of years ago. It was swift and shocking, radical and traumatic. At the time.<\/p>\n

Now, I realize that it was the healthiest thing I could have done. It was the most \u201cof course\u201d action I could have taken. I see how urgently necessary it was for me, for my family, and even for the church I left.<\/p>\n

But I also see how necessary it was for me to move further into my purpose. I had to leave all that in order to help those who I really care about. Those who go to church and are happy, content and have their minds made up\u2026 they don\u2019t need me. Who I am interested in helping are those who are what I call \u201cspiritual refugees\u201d or \u201cspiritually displaced persons\u201d\u2026 people who feel trapped within the church or those who have left it and are full of questions, doubt, fear and confusion. I want to provide them with any help I can give for them to walk their own spiritual paths with courage, freedom and joy. I want them to know that they are free and that they can enjoy it.<\/p>\n

If you haven\u2019t yet, you can make your radical move now. Believe me: in time you will realize that it is the best thing you could have done for yourself.<\/p>\n

I\u2019ll be here waiting for you.<\/p>\n<\/body><\/html>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
