I think if you've been "groomed" for a few decades with cultic/conspirational thinking such as "back-masking", Y2K, male headship doctrine, child spanking doctrine, "umbrellas of authority" doctrine, "end times" speculations, 'Harry Potter is the devil's gateway' etc, it primes you to be susceptible to conspiracy theories and disinformation. Even the type of "soft" brain-washing we've all been exposed to in recent decades, from marketing and advertising, alters us a people. The messages of entitlement and exceptionalism and individualism gradually seep in. Wondering if that's why so many people we know are falling prey to coronavirus denialism, disinformation and conspiracy theories. I also observe those who seem to be resistant to the swirling disinformation and polarization. It seems like those who are well grounded in reality-testing science, those really rooted and grounded in love and intimacy with our Saviour (relationship rather than religion) those who question and eschew concepts of power and success - and those with a well-developed, down-to-earth, common-sense bull-s*** metre seem most immune. The common denominator is secure attachment to reality and truth. Thank you for your thoughtful reflections as always, Roxanne.

One out of 4 was hugely uncooperative with this and it was the ex-Bible smugglers versus the sneaky teen. No idea who won and who lost ... Some good tips here Roxanne.

Yes! Yes! Again! Roxanne it does my heart good to hear these words. It is impossible to address prejudice and discrimination without identifying privilege, it is key to deconstructing institutional injustice. This is so important for addressing both racism and sexism. I relate so well to your thoughts about, "well I'm a cross-cultural missionary, so I must be kinda doing OK, right?" and then on return to our home country - seeing incredible systemic racism at work - if anything, worse than I remembered growing up - and realizing how far we have to go - and seeing that defensiveness or blindness in the church. And realizing that the journey to being woke is not as cut and dried as we thought. Thank you for sharing. I'm so impressed, so proud of you. Thank God!

YES! YES! Total tears in my eyes reading this. Your dead tree list is so similar to mine. I've a couple more. Some have to do with neo-liberal capitalism and global economic injustice and forced vaccination. But that's all another story. Beautiful to read your brave words. Go, Roxanne.

I think of that verse about building with "hay, wood and stubble" or "gold, silver and precious stones". Heart to heart ministry doesn't fill stadiums or "build ministries" but I love the way Jesus measures our work. Heard a great sermon on healing from shame once, talking about Romans 14 - "who are you to judge someone else's servant? To his own master he stands or falls, and s/he will stand, for the Lord is able to make him/her stand." and asking, whose servant are you? You're JESUS's servant .... so don't judge yourself (rate, compare, evaluate, measure etc) but look to Jesus to see what HE says - this helped me a lot.
