No pain- no gain
As it says in the movie “Princess Bride”
Life is pain: anyone who tells you differently is trying to sell you something!?
Personally/ I feel we use Christianity to rid ourselves of painful memories and present challenges,,, instead of seeing that if Jesus suffered;;; so must we……..

I met Mike Cromartie in 1977, when he was working with Chuck Colson to launch Prison Fellowship. Mike’s work was God’s gift to both the church and our nation, and Faith Angle was a key part of that. He is now enjoying his eternal reward!

I read the whole book written by Stormy Daniels. I can say with absolute certainty that he wasn’t in that hotel room, as Franklin Graham said, “to tell that young woman about Jesus.”
Most people don’t get au naturel in order to “spread the good news about Jesus coming to save the world.”
Unless he was reconstructing the Garden of Eden scene from when the man first met the woman, I don’t think he thought of God once.

I also read his niece’s book. Mary Trump, who has a Ph.D in Psychology from Columbia University.
I got the impression that nobody in their family talks much about God.
To this day, I can’t understand why anyone believes he’s Godly, but them people believed Heinrich Himmler was Catholic.
It just must have been some “coincidence” when he had 5 million of them killed at Auschwitz.

Hi, I believe that millennials did need to disconnect because of no Christ in a lot of Christendom. But, this is the same thing that happened in the 60’s with the hippie Jesus Revolution, it needs to happen again.

I’m glad to learn about the Faith Angle Forum. The notion of “church” is becoming increasingly confused to both insiders and outsiders, and I attribute this in part to the rise of Christian nationalism and toxic politics. Many folks want nothing to do with churches they see as critical, judgmental, angry, divisive, and even violent. The infusion of politics into religion is destructive, especially since so many people cannot separate politics from faith. In fact, many put politics before faith and don’t realize it.

I read and re-read your books to keep my perspective grounded in grace. Why have so many churches and self-identified Christians lost sight of this fundamental gift? Why do we reject it and instead cling to legalistic self righteousness and anti-this and ant-that, disparaging so many people from faith? Shouldn’t faith, hope, and love always take precedent?

The Faith Angle is a profound example of the “porch” metaphor that Timothy Keller features in a recent article in the Gospel Coalition which also notes profound insights from the seminal thinker of a past century, Abraham Kuyper. The porch, borrowed from homes of yesteryear that had a transitional space from the street to the home. Never has there been a greater need than now, to create a relational space where listening conversations are promoted as the gap continues to widen spiritually from the “street” to “home”. May the Faith Angle prompt fellow followers to create such in our communities! kudos to you, Philip, for modeling such!

I watched the entire Youtube video and it was quite fascinating and easy to watch. I am so thankful Philip that your disappointment with God, the church, and your own family, didn’t keep you in a pertetual state of DISAPPOINTMENT. I believe your life has taken you on an amazing journey and we have benefited from your insights of God, the church, and life in general. Bless you and pray for God’s grace during your challenge with Parkinson’s.

The Faith Angle seminar makes such wonderful good sense. Any chance of starting one here in Australia???? It is needed for the same reason it’s needed in the US. Thank you for shining the light on the real problem – lack of listening to both sides.
