Have you ever wondered if there is more to life and faith, but your sincere or even radical questions are not welcomed by your current subculture or community? I come from just such a background, but began questioning persistently. It (thankfully) led me down some very interesting and transformative paths that led to a more authentic, fearless life, including authoring a book that single-handedly dismantles the false, damaging doctrine of hell, which is nothing more than a manmade doctrine (www.raisinghellbook.com). These days, I like to stir the pot on all things faith and religion to see what boils off and what remains as “good food.” It’s an uncomfortable and liminal (unsure) path at times, but I think the fruit of living from one’s questions and recognizing that religion offers few real answers (and usually promotes unfounded, destructive fear of God) is the only authentic way forward. Join me in learning about the truer character of God, and more importantly, the truer nature of YOU, a Divine Spark, which changes the very foundation stones of your life and purpose.
