I'm not sure I totally understand all your terminology, but it seems to correlate with what I've started to experience for myself in online faith conversations. I'm a
Roman Catholic woman(with a decent exposure to Orthodox teachings). I've seen so many different male led channels and the content seems to be far more apologetic and issue oriented. While I always want to learn, it doesn't nourish my soul but tends to make me anxious.
Just recently I've delved into content created by nuns and more devotional friars and it's been a revelation! The focus on devotion and spiritual surrender and growth vs "correctness" or "combating the spirit of the age" is leading me closer to Christ and helping me to establish a routine of prayer.
Oh, no, Kayla, it definitely sounds like you got what I was trying to say! And I definitely appreciate your perspective. I get the feeling of relief for sure. As for the terminology, I do struggle to reach people where they are and count on generous readers like yourself meeting me half way — I can't thank you enough for that!
This is awesome Cormac. May this series be blessed
