Who contributes to the information on this site?  What are their backgrounds and testimonies?  How did they come to arrive at these conclusions about God?  What are their spiritual journeys like?

We get asked these questions a lot, and we’re not going to answer any of them.  Why not?  Because we want you to learn how to think critically about what you are being taught.

When Christian teachers try to impress you with their dramatic testimonials, or they tell you what denomination they are from, they are encouraging you to trust in irrelevant things.  A denomination is just a brand.  For all you know, they are lying about their testimonies.

As soon as a so-called prophet says, “I’ve received a vision from God”, what happens?  Christians check their brains at the door and just blindly believe.  As soon as a preacher wows you with his stats and his dramatic conversion story, you start thinking, “This guy must really know what he’s talking about,” and you stop seeking confirmation from the Holy Spirit.  This is no good.

We don’t want you to trust us.  We don’t want you to assume everything we say is right just because we’re the ones saying it.  We want you to grow strong in your own walk with God, and that means you need to question EVERYTHING.  You need to pray about EVERYTHING.  You need to remember that God is the ONLY Authority on God.
