The mainline protestant churches are imploding. I wanted to learn what this man had to say. He spoke about the importance of understanding and acknowledging the truth of our personal histories. Each of us is a product of our family histories, some of us to a great extent, some to a lesser extent. But we are ALL affected by our personal histories and our own personal life histories. To understand and acknowledge this is important. Suppressing our stories and our histories suppresses who we are.

a motivational speaker dressed up as a preacher? Really? Nonsense. You don't have to always preach in order to be effective and communicate truth.
