A Quick Note to my Subscribers

A New Direction

Some of you have been here from the start and I am grateful you’re still sticking with me.

Every time someone likes or comments on my writing, I genuinely consider it an honor. So thank you. Even if you subscribed to me so that I would subscribe back as you build your Substack, thank you.

Some of you may have noticed that my last four articles have steered toward divorce issues within the church and it’s intentional. When I began writing on here, I didn’t want divorce being my “signature” on the platform. The goal was to share areas of the American church that need changing. But truth is my divorce is exactly what made me examine the very institution I gave my entire life to.

Early on my wife kept encouraging me to speak to divorce issues within the church. I resisted. I was worried what would happen if people knew I was divorced…I really was. I’ve lived the stigma that comes with it. My wife still kept quietly encouraging me. I kept saying no.

God connected me to someone on this platform who showed me it’s ok to bring this conversation to the public square. They challenged me, not directly, but in the freedom and confidence they had sharing their story. I went to my wife and apologized to her. She has been my cheerleader from the start.

We’re headed in a new direction.

Helping people has been my heart since the start of ministry back in 2001. Now helping people, and the church, navigate all the issues around divorce is my passion moving forward. I genuinely hope you stay on the journey with me.

If you know of someone struggling through a divorce, I’m humbly asking you to share my material with them…and much more is coming.

God bless!
