Divine Need to Know

Stasis Is Bad Juju
As a philosophical statement, Radix Fidem teaches that reality is a living being — variable and personal. There is no such thing as objective reality; there is only experience and perception for each individual human. Reality is external to us, … Continue reading

Feudal, Covenantal, Personal and Contextual

Another Religious Word: Discipleship
