Virgil, I love your writing, and more importantly, the truth you unashamedly share with us. Our godless culture needs it.

I wonder what you would say to someone like me (and my husband) who did all the things you list in this article. We homeschooled, we kept our kids in church with us instead of sending them to youth group, we read scripture together every morning and night, we talked openly about our faith and answered the hard questions that caused doubt, we took them on mission trips, we fasted and prayed for them and with them, and we sent them to Christian colleges. Still, two of my four grown kids (the girls) have now joined the deconstruction movement and walked away from God. One of them is in a lesbian relationship now. We know a lot of parents in the exact same position as us. It is devastating.

I’d love to hear your thoughts on this. Thank you for your timely words that always lift my head. Blessings to you and your family.
