2010–2018 archives
I really go back and forth over whether these old talks should be up. I’ve taken them down because it was an old version of me but then I also still like a lot of the things said from that old version of me. In fact, I’d probably agree with a ton of it. I don’t want to be a pastor anymore but I never really did want to be a pastor. I was much more comfortable being aligned with a religion than I am not but even then, it’s funny how different people hear you when you say things in a church compared to when you say them out of it. (Because, I talked a lot about not being comfortable being aligned with a religion.)
Anyway… they’re back for now. Take what you will. Ignore what you want.
I’m sure I’ll take them down again soon. : )
