Other Resources
Below are resources I've found helpful and illuminating. As a bit of a disclaimer, I strongly believe that everyone, including wise teachers, are sometimes wrong (which in many ways is a gift, as it keeps us focused on Jesus instead of any person). You may not agree with some of the beliefs shared on these links -- in fact, I may not agree with all of them myself -- but they are here for your convenience and exploration. God always invites us into honest inquiry without fear, and by the guidance of the Spirit, we are to chew the meat and spit out the bones. If you have questions or comments regarding these resources, please contact me. - Susan
