Thanks for replying, @paulvp!
I find your experiences powerfully encouraging. Also very thought-provoking. I am and have been attempting to "bring the good news" of the Kingdom within a local congregation that my wife and I have been a part of for about three years now, and I continue to have hopes of success in that endeavor. However, your writing and comments have encouraged me to try to widen the net I am throwing, and to see if I can find more likeminded who are not necessarily part of the particular congregation I am in.
I would love to have a conversation with you sometime, brother? Perhaps over Signal Private Messenger, or over Wire, for the sake of (relative) privacy? :)
