The Cognitive Dissonance of American Evangelicals: What is Greatness?

Greetings and love from San Antonio- just logging in to share my playlist on YouTube about the state of the 81% American Evangelical church.  With all the scandals and betrayals lately, I'm not sure we even worship the same God.  There are attitudes among evangelical Christians that divide families and destroy any hope of unity in shared humanity in local communities.  This division is not of the God of love.  I don't believe we can get anywhere in addressing church abuse, if we refuse to address the poor theology of conservative Christian subcultures.  They act like a dysfunctional family and refuse to talk about it.  

Which means we need to talk.

new #ATCK book on #evangelicalbetrayal

I am starting to write again on the side of regular activities, as I seem to have a lot to say on Twitter and Facebook, and putting it all in one place makes far more sense.  Playing around with some titles and ideas, and no idea how long it'll take.  Going back to work in August, and hope to continue my masters next summer, so we will see.  But got a few lines down today, and some things pent up are coming together.  We will see where it all leads.  Very grateful for our freedoms and the privilege of blogging and self-publishing.  
Here's what I said on my personal Facebook about things today:

Going to write that book. The root of the problem in American evangelicalism is minimization of serious abuses, and compromise with evil, for power and control. This is why, in my opinion, some people with good intentions against abuse are not going to stop it. Trump is a spiritual symptom.
If you missed my first book, check it out on Amazon: Fragments and Faith: An Adult Third Culture Kid Experience in Evangelicalism.  #ATCK #amwriting #evangelicalbetrayal #prayforUS


God bless and keep us all with hope for the future.
