I just wanted to take a moment to express my sincere gratitude for the impact you have had on my life. The way you both lead with honesty, humility, and vulnerability has been incredibly meaningful to me.
So often leadership can feel distant, but you have allowed people to see behind the face of pastoring. Your willingness to share your own struggles and walk openly in them creates a sense of safety that is truly rare. It makes people feel comfortable, seen, and understood.
I may not be sure what I believe anymore all while leaving the church physical building but I do still listen to the podcasts and read your socials, but I do know this: through your examples, you have helped me grow in loving people I have a hard time loving. That alone has made a lasting difference in my life. When leaders are open about their own humanity, it reminds the rest of us that we are not alone in our struggles, and it creates space for real growth and compassion.
Thank you for being faithful to who you are and for leading with authenticity and courage. Your impact reaches farther than you may ever realize.
