Dear Jon,

Sometimes I write as a way of processing my own hurt. You probably heard that come through in this article.

But I try to write positively about Jesus Christ as well. In fact, here's the most viewed article I ever wrote: https://medium.com/backyard-theology/what-jesus-actually-said-8b4bbb0a50e8

I appreciate what you're saying. You have heard what I am against, and you want to know what I am for. My journey over the past few years has been one of pulling apart the faith of my youth and working out was is true, good and useful. Gradually I am putting it back together, and Jesus is still central to it all. That I have decided.

Most other things are up for grabs, so I won't draw any lines in the sand at this point. Thank you for your patience with me.
