Sometimes the truth is we aren’t ready to seek reparations for our unbelief or fractured belief. Maybe the community surrounding us is actually making a lot of sense. Maybe we love and respect the people in it. Maybe we’d still like to laugh with them, make plans with them, or share meals with them, but we just can’t stand to open up this subject with them because belief is a topic of pain or frustration or anger or just plain disinterest for us at the moment.
