    Why Don’t You Go to Church?

    May 18, 2025 - By a Fellow Rethinker

    I recently saw a Facebook post asking, “Why do you go to church?” My immediate thought was to answer, “I don’t.” But I quickly realized that answer was too abrupt, especially for the religious mind that might quickly write me off as a heathen sinner on his way to hell.…

    The Grace and Goodness of Abba

    March 24, 2025 - By a Fellow Rethinker

    I have come to believe that it is impossible to comprehend the depth of Abba’s grace and His goodness when chained to the rules of a church and religion. Church is tied to rules and opinions. Those opinions are regularly perpetuated as gospel, as pure and holy as Jesus himself.…

    What Should a Church Gathering Look Like?

    January 29, 2025 - By a Fellow Rethinker

    What should a church gathering look like? Should it look like a classroom? Should it be a lecture hall? What about a huge concert stage? Do the scriptures give us any directions as to how to gather? What then is the right course, believers? When you meet together, each one has…

    Churched, Unchurched, Dechurched and Why

    January 9, 2025 - By a Fellow Rethinker

    So what is the difference between churched, unchurched and dechurched and why does it matter? I have been thinking a lot about the dechurched people in my region lately. I researched and discovered that approximately 40 million people in America have left the church system over the last 25 years.…

    A Word For 2025

    December 25, 2024 - By a Fellow Rethinker

    Like many believers, I spend time with Abba and ask for a specific word or direction for the new year. There is nothing magical at the beginning or the year but it does give us the sense of a fresh start. When I do this, I seek His direction for…

    Dechurching is Detoxing

    December 22, 2024 - By a Fellow Rethinker

    I woke up early this morning with the phrase, “Dechurching is Detoxing,” running through my mind. This is one of the ways I’ve learned to hear from the Holy Spirit. Detoxing on a physical level is simply removing the impurities that get into our physical bodies through the food we…

    The Father’s Marvelous Love

    December 17, 2024 - By a Fellow Rethinker

    Look with wonder at the depth of the Father’s marvelous love that he has lavished on us! He has called us and made us his very own beloved children. 1 John 3:1 TPT Today, as I headed out to do my daily work duties, I felt a strong tug in…

    Is The Church Under a Spirit of Witchcraft?

    October 4, 2024 - By a Fellow Rethinker

    What a question. Is Churchianity, the church system, under a spirit of Witchcraft? I ask the hard questions. For some reason, I ask questions, often about things that no one else seems to question, things that most people take for granted. Because of those questions, which revolve around the church…

    God Is NOT In Control

    September 15, 2024 - By a Fellow Rethinker

    I love the quaint little sayings that Christians have developed. Many of them are based on half-truths at worst and confusion at best. We have statements from as absurd as the “Man Upstairs” or “Cleanliness is next to Godliness.” We have others that are true but have been so overused…
