I really do believe that God is love, one of deep affection and grace and forgiveness and inspiration.
— William P. Young
I had a very angry father and was disconnected from my family.
Part of my journey is to say that the soul of the human being must be a massively intricate, wonderful creation that God has a respect for in ways that we do not and that leaves a huge amount of space to go explore.
I was raised in a tribal situation, among cannibal people.

You cannot heal yourself. You cannot heal anybody else. We're designed to do this in community because we were created inside community for community by community.
I think people are tired of religion and how it divides and damages people. You can name it whatever you want, Islam or Christianity, but if you have a system in which God is distant and angry all the time, and you're trying to please him through the right disciplines, it isn't going to work for everyone.
Jesus is not the 'founder of Christianity.'
