A lot of us know what it can be like to raise the sort of questions about
church and faith that most other believers seem unwilling to ask... Whether
we're seeking clarification over some clearly poisonous idea, or
challenging the integrity of a certain theological belief, or even just
bringing up a biblical "elephant in the room" that is being avoided... Many
of us have seen a similar result in how Christians respond or react to
us: Fear. Shame. Gaslighting. Loss of trust. Loss of position. Loss of our
voice within a community... Our expressed doubts are so often not met with
comfort and embrace, but instead with painful separation.
