The provocative nature of this book’s content is intentionally designed to encourage readers and listeners to question the author. The Connect segment of this website and the publication itself actively seeks feedback to mikeclemens907@gmail.com. While unpacking broad statements can take various forms, I will respond to the extent of my knowledge, skills, and abilities.

The content of email or personal exchanges will be shared here, without names attached, to facilitate candid inquiries. This allows others to see potential “Frequently Asked Questions.” I acknowledge that some statements may be offensive to other theological views. My approach will be to explain my thoughts, rather than necessarily persuade others about my thoughts. In doing so, I hope to clarify common ground, and areas of reasonable disagreement.

Additionally, some Kindle readers underline specific sentences, which is another form of feedback to the author. By including those here, paperback and audio audiences will be informed of what others found noteworthy. All those noted below are on the pages indicated in the Kindle Edition from Keledei Publications.

Churchianity focuses on institutional goals, like building up its numbers without attention to each churchgoer’s individual spiritual status. (p. 45).

The actual practice, if any, of what Jesus commanded, taught, and exemplified must take place outside a church building’s walls. (p. 47).

Any shepherd who fails to help his sheep learn to closely follow the Good Shepherd enables them to wander away where Satan prowls, ready to devour them (1 Pet 5:8). (p. 51).

It makes no sense to keep welcoming people in the front door if they are allowed to gradually slip out the back. (p. 56).
