Comments on: Living the lie http://www.daveingland.com/2009/12/15/living-the-lie/ Commentary and discussion on the missional church, faith, culture, media and more...

For me, the issue of trying to fit in with the majority wasn't racial, but it was cultural. As a biker and a pastor, I tried everything to fit into the "suit and tie" environment that promised me success in ministry. When I decided to be true to the culture I was raised in and live out a life of following Christ within that culture, I lost some peer connections. And yet, the freedom of not living a life was well worth it. I will be praying for you as you discover what this all means for your life and ministry. Dave,
