Divine Truth Needs Witnesses
The best spiritual breakthroughs happen when earnest seekers compare notes
I've spent months visiting different churches, reading theology, wrestling with denominational differences. But my richest spiritual insights haven't come from solitary study. They've emerged in conversation with fellow seekers willing to share their honest struggles and discoveries.
Today I called Alex, a friend navigating his own journey from pantheistic exploration to Christian commitment. We talked for an hour about Orthodox liturgy, the limitations of sola scriptura, and whether we're being too intellectual about faith. That conversation taught me more than days if not weeks of individual research and exploration.
There's something that feels rare and sacred about finding people who take spiritual questions seriously. Alex and I share a passion for earnest sense-making around God's truth. We're both transitioning from heavy exploration to practical embodiment. Neither of us wants to stay perpetually curious tourists in the land of faith.
Alex and I can discuss denominational differences with intellectual honesty because we're not trying to recruit each other. We're trying to understand reality together. That freedom creates space for genuine discovery.
The goal isn't endless seeking but finding truth worth living. Alex put it perfectly: at some point it's helpful to have a framework you can delegate decisions to, grounded in higher wisdom you trust. Both of us are ready to move from the exploration phase to the application phase.
The Christofuturist concept we've been developing isn't about creating another denomination. It's about building community for trans-denominational seekers who want to understand and embody God's truth, not just debate it. People who share journal entries from their journey. People who ask better questions together than they could alone.
Too many longtime Christians seem to be on autopilot, going through inherited motions without conscious wrestling. But when you find someone earnestly investigating what God wants, that conversation energizes both of you. It reminds you that faith isn't performance but relationship.
Divine truth reveals itself through community as much as individual study. God designed us to need witnesses for our spiritual journey. Not yes-men who affirm every thought, but honest friends who help you see blind spots and celebrate genuine discoveries.
If you're exploring faith seriously, find people doing the same. Compare notes. Share struggles. Test insights against each other's experience. The conversations will teach you things no book can.
Truth seekers are rarer than they should be. When you find them, cultivate those relationships. They're gifts from God for the journey ahead.
