Rye's dad was my pastor growing up at a large non denominational evangelical church in my small home town of Lynden WA. She grew up a pastors kid and I grew up very involved in the church. We both had great experiences in the church. Our foundation and morals came through the love and support of this church.
Fast forward to being adults and Trump getting huge evangelical support leaving many of us millennials confused, hurt, and felling alone... in disbelief about how the basic ethics and morals so gracefully taught to us no longer matter when it comes to Trump. Thus a larger divide and hurt on both sides as the younger generation had already been on a mass exodus from the evangelical church for the last decade.
Must it go this way? What if we took some time to understand and mend relationships? How can we have productive conversations with our Trump supporting family and church?
Rye shared her experience and story with us and I for one found it very refreshing and relatable. This is just the start to a bigger conversation.
Our Hope is to help bring unity... to help have the hard uncomfortable conversations about how we feel and not attack and shame people.
