Hello everyone. 26/m living in Peoria IL metro, working in a small evangelical church leading music and trying to not be outed as a leftist and an exvangelical. Interested in movies, Lego, urbanism, fantasy football, and craft beer with a new budding hobby of cocktails. Grew up in Champaign though, so by default I’m into college sports as well.
Must be kind of lonely to be evangelical AND leftist. Not too many of you around.
It can be, but the senior pastor I work for is into organized labor, and my wife and I have found some pockets of people with some understanding or agreement. Even without those others, though, it’s been a good exercise to learn patience and self-control in the face of those who disagree or hate people with my views and to befriend and lead them without devaluing them.
