By Mike Glenn The other day I was having lunch with a friend. “Can I ask you a question,” he said. “Sure,” I answered. Photo by Priscilla Du Preez 🇨🇦 on Unsplash “I have a friend who loves Jesus. She really does, but she’s never going back to church. There has been too much water under the bridge and she’s too disillusioned to ever trust organized religion, but she told me the other day how much she missed going to church. She missed seeing the people and having a place to belong.”
Thank you for this. I rarely hear this type of response. Usually it is the shaming and using guilt response, for not wanting to go to church, as a weapon for those who do not feel safe in churches.
Thank you, Mike (and Scot), for this invitation to reading the Bible in community. If I could risk being a bit “self-serving,” I would strongly recommend your readers consider using Immerse: The Bible Reading Experience as a proven way to fall back in love with reading the Bible in a small group. More if a book club model than the usual study model. Check it out here: https://www.immersebible.com/

Thank you Scott for Mikes writings . What great advice was given.
This is wonderful. I think you're right, America is a mission field.
Thanks for this.
