No blog post today. Lucy Lynn Morgan passed away this morning around 4am. She now sees Jesus face to face. Thank you for all your love poured out to us. Here’s a picture from our goodbyes earlier yesterday on June 4.

These are great points. Seems like the BCers you reference as positively reviewing this book have frequently been guilty of the mantra, "the enemy of my enemy is my friend" regarding trauma and other topics around clinically informed biblical counseling.

Spiritual bypass is exactly what I thought of too. It is trying to take a highroad around the valley of the shadow of death. Using Christianese to avoid painful emotions. That highroad leads off a cliff when the fragile faith collapses under the weight of the curse.

Bob, in your engagement with Heath please note we’d all be more prone to take him more seriously if he provided the potential pitfalls that he is more likely to fall into. If his analogy provided that, I think it would’ve been much more palatable and more intellectually honest.

Shepherding is an exercise of power that’s supposed to be faithful. His desire to “shepherd” people to be conformed to his image in this harsh way with his influence is unfaithful exercise of power. There’s also no way this will bring about his desired response of “repentance”.

There’s counter-analogy there somewhere and another side…like inside the garden walling yourself in with literalistic fundamentalism, drinking from the well of your own pride turns you into a disembodied ghost that’s suspicious of more embodied priests. I’ll work on it!
