How two days in Ojai, CA with some fellow wanderers helped me process some immense trauma and finally give words to the most difficult day in my entire life. Includes a recent podcast with a friend I met in Ojai.

I’ve observed three primary presentations of “Christianity” in people. Two of the three have very little to do with the original person that this religion and way of life was modeled after. Let’s break down these types and learn which one is truest to the original form.
