Hi Macy,
I’m sorry it’s taken a few days to get back to you. I wasn’t sure how to respond to all of what you sent, tbh. You’ve clearly spent a lot of time thinking, reading, watching, and searching many varied subjects. I’m very aware that I don’t share your vantage point, nor do I have the breadth of knowledge you do on many of the things you’ve explored. Honestly, some of those things I just don’t understand.
However, I do want to say how sorry I am for the pain and loss you’ve carried after the death of your uncle to Covid. My father died from Covid pneumonia. I still miss him everyday. I also recognize that you carry hurt from family dynamics and relationships. I understand those feelings as well.
For me, things are a bit simpler. I find my hope, strength, and direction in Jesus Christ alone. I don’t have all the answers, and I certainly can’t match your learning in many areas—but I rest everything I am on Him. That’s the center of my life and the lens through which I see the world.
I continue to pray for you. I pray for healing and restoration of relationships, and that "the peace of God, which surpasses all understanding, will guard your heart and mind through Christ Jesus” (Philippians 4:7).
Wishing you grace and peace,
Pastor Craig
