I cried when I read this. I miss Melissa so much. She inspires me and puts words to my experience in a way no one else has. Thank you for this last article.

Brilliant, cogent, and full of deep wisdom. I will cherish this essay. It embodies the nature of cognitive dissonance and the holy purpose of struggle. The gospel was never meant to be easy but a worthy scaffolding to build the best version of ourselves - which necessarily includes polishing our own rough surfaces against the rough surfaces of those with whom we worship. In this process . . . we become more perfect in Christ. Thank you Melissa! RIP
