For a long time I chose acceptance over everything: the questions I had, the thoughts I had, my true desires and opinions.
I knew if I presented myself, questions and all, as I truly was some in my community might not accept me.
It took years for me to finally choose the truth over acceptance.
And now that I have, I won’t shrink or become something else to be accepted.
God accepts me, loves me, just as I am.

Cindy Wang Brandt author of the new Raising Children UnFundamentalist and a speaker I heard at last year’s Evolving Faith conference, tells us her own story of being known, and how we can all live that way.
