@mountain_goats I too should have known that those "live laugh love" qumran fragments that I bought at the Hobby Lobby in Blue Springs, Missouri were modern forgeries, but here we are

@john_mccollum @brmorris @kkdumez It might be helpful for someone like this to start with the narrative account of someone who engaged in this process while in ministry and came out the other side with a ministry that was changed but intact. Brian Zahnd's more autobiographical stuff comes to mind, for instance.

@TylerHuckabee That being said, I don't so much look to it as a serious foundation to my own spirituality or theology, and the way DM has sold out makes me shrug and ask questions about looking to that for substance

[Austin Roberts @austinroberts]

@TylerHuckabee I read it in 2008, and at the time it was really important to me. In retrospect, I'm grateful for the narrative way that it introduced me to the idea that a de/reconstruction process in your spirituality can be a good thing and that process should be embraced rather than avoided.

@stillnotmadi Makes sense, I too have a set time each day from 8-9AM to make stray cold calls to friends and relations to let them know how wrong their decisions are
