Christy shares her frustrations with yet another public Christian leader being accused of sexual and spiritual abuse. She talks about how as our evangelical world falls apart, people's faith is left in ashes. Christy talks about the new Hope Retreats that she is starting to host, and shares things she was thinking about during her own quiet reflecting during the recent retreat. She rants about the high-control, high-demand atmospheres that are torching people's faith and reminds listeners that Jesus chose His disciples--which was very countercultural--and then called them friends. We don't need to follow a long list of rules, find the right formula, have enough faith, or manifest obvious spiritual gifts. We just need to enjoy our relationship with Jesus by faith as we enter into the closeness that He provided for us through His life, death, and resurrection. Only in that closeness will our hearts be changed to match His.
