The pain and confusion that I caused my kids being raised in evangelicalism.

We raised our family as followers of Jesus. We have always attended a Vineyard and find that to continue to be the place that God has us. As our kids are now all in their 30’s, I hear comments about the ways we raised them .. And I realized that I mistakenly added things that I really never heard taught in our local church, or read in the Bible. Spanking, the purity movement, etc…In this most recent political climate and division, I kept trying to understand how followers of Jesus could be so staunch in their support of Donald Trump.I just did not get it. So I started to read and study and read a life changing book called Jesus and John Wayne. I saw myself in that. There is no cure for the confusion that I got caught up in while my children were little. They are all beautiful and healthy adults now. And for that I am so grateful. I caused religious trauma , the truth of who Jesus is did not.
