Slowly, I’m working through the posts in our archive library like the Lone Ranger: Riding into town one day, fixing all its problems, and riding back out to the sunset afterward. I’ve got about 2200 posts to fix, and I’ll get to them all in time!
Bill Schnoebelen has had to reinvent himself a few times, but maybe he’s finding nowadays that once someone’s joined the Cult of Before Stories, it’s really hard to leave.
It’s a collision that doesn’t need to happen, and one that no longer gives the results Christian leaders want.
