I listened to Phyllis Tickle a couple of times over the past days. I was quite fascinated by the podcast. As I look back at the fifty years of my Christian life, I see a similar patterns of change in my life just as Phyllis pointed out the 500 years changes observed in religion and society as a whole! I became a believer through Inter-Varsity Christian Fellowship…a fairly intellectual and Bible Study Based Ministry…then about 10 years later, moved into the Pentacostal , Holy Spirit focused movement, then about 5 years later became very involved with the Vineyard Signs and Wonders and Inner Healing ministry. Then spent a time of almost isolation due to circumstances where I discovered a more contemplative life enjoying many of the mystics. Now…through Free Believers and Beyond the Box I find myself being stretched once again by being called to reconsider much of my conservative and traditional views of God, the Bible and Eschatology! Another step forward! When will it ever end…or will it ever end this side of heaven?? I love it by it sure keeps me sitting on the edge of your roller coaster! THanks for all the challenges!
