The Dreaded “B” Word
During the healing process of leaving ATI (or any other legalistic group) and discovering Jesus Christ and His gospel, there is often a very painful transition for individuals as they must face all the lies they believed, lies which are often coupled with a long history of injustices and abuse. I like to compare this […]
The Trouble with Bubbles
“Have you ever seen a bubble? They’re simple things to see. And if they’re not in trouble, they’re round as they can be. But if you try to change their shape to make them tall or make them flat, there soon won’t be a bubble where the troubled bubble’s at. It really doesn’t matter if […]

This places a lot of pressure on the parents to control their children. But I have begun to ask, “Does God control us? Does he force us to make good choices?” […]
