Stephy loves Eugene Peterson enough to venture onto the SPU campus, and that is a lot. Here is Eugene speaking a bit on faith outside the church:
Gentle, adorable, grandfatherly Eugene talking about what motivated him to translate the Bible from the original languages:

Closing song: Midlake—”Roscoe”
RIP Nigel Emery, who first played this song for us. You were the zaniest Supergrass roadie ever.

Yup, here in the old country we call them lovebites – that's because we know how to use oxymorons
P.S. Sorry for the deleted comment; my dyslexia gives me trouble with difficult words – in this case 'them'
Them!
Stephy did you really need to say "I'm kind of weird"? I think most of us have already figured that out and love you for it.
Your reaction to going back to a place that you felt was in CC was totally understandable. For you it will bring back too many memories of what was done to you and what you were for you to relax and be comfortable. I think you were very brave to go back; even to hear the wonderful Eugene Peterson. Your only hope of getting through was to be critical – that was your defence mechanism. I don't know how mixed race Seattle is but London is very mixed and to have "blacks" there just for the music would ring alarm bells in my brain.
Finally thank you for saying how difficult it is for you when you remember what you were like in CC. That lines up with my post breakdown experience of knowing I have changed and cringing at how I used to be – it is very helpful to know that I'm not alone in this experience.
Thank you so much Hugh. It is huge for me to have people who can identify. Lets me know I'm not alone and also not completely crazy. (Weird but not insane.
Theolojizzing, double teaming, hickies and tacos…this episode had it all and I didn't want it to end! Loved it!!
And Stephy, you're definitely not alone in the CC PTSD department or in the weird paradox of wanting to scream at people and beat the living shit out of them (ok, so that's how I feel) while simultaneously recognizing that you're encountering a younger version yourself. Sitting with the both/and that I was both the abused and the perpetrator just plain hurts.
Callie…YES…thank you for getting it. xoxo
In college, I knew a girl whose last name was Hyman. She had a brother whose nickname was Buster. Hur hur hur.
I want your cousin Dong to take that last name, please.
Stephy-
When I go to my mother's assembly of God church every year (Christmas) I have to yoga breathe through the whole thing.
It's only from the help of my therapist that I am able to stop myself from saying "If only I could go back in time and shake myself out of Christian culture world".
Time heals and everyday gets better and maybe one day, I'll want to go to church again without feeling panicky, scared and anxious-
