When I left,

with a head crammed full of angry screaming question marks,

god was waiting outside,

leaning on a tree.

"Hey chuck,

'bout time.

Walk with me.

I've got some stuff to show you"

Thank you 🤎 I especially appreciated your naming the problem in elevating young people to leadership so early. I became a Christian at age 21 and by 22 I was in the worship band and the student council of my campus ministry. I know they were trying to be radically welcoming to this queer and trans outsider, but it meant I completely skipped the phase of just being present in church - straight to being responsible for its message and appearance. I burned out fast. I’m grateful for you holding these spaces in your writing.
