Bear Grylls is a reality tv personality. He does a lot of wilderness survival stuff. And from what I read in this article he’s hawking a couple of books and probably some other stuff too. But a lot of what he’s saying here is quite true. What he says about the modern churches rings true for me.
“He expressed his distaste for what he called “religious language,” sanitizing messages in such a way where people “can’t be honest, can’t express doubt and can’t fail.” The Church, he said, is “the place to have doubts and questions.”
“Look at the early Church. It was a roomful of people eating and drinking and doubting and struggling and arguing,” he said.
But the Church today, he said, has gotten away from that.
“Probably most of the people in the congregation have substance abuse, and probably most of their congregations struggle with porn and all that sort of stuff,” he said. “What a relief it is when a pastor can stand up and go, ‘Welcome to the hospital, folks. Here we go. I’m just standing alongside you on the road, failing our way through, but reaching out of desperation for life and love and redemption. Let’s look outwards, and love other people, and we’re in it together.’””
Religion is the next frontier that has to be reclaimed from the Left. And the sooner the better. There’s very little of it left to fix. Most of the churches are beyond repair and need to be abandoned.

That’s right. Trying to find a sect of Christianity that hasn’t been swallowed up by the woke heresies becomes extremely difficult.

I never knew that Bear Grylls was a man of faith. But it seems like he is not only a man of faith, but a wise man, as well. Myself, I have seen this same thing, for a very long time. I attended Bible College in the early 1980’s, thinking that I might become a Baptist Pastor. Due to family circumstances, I was only able to attend for a year, but I learned much in that year. Not only knowledge about the Bible, but about Christians and the direction of the Church itself. I could see even back then that… Read more »
Pigpen51, neither did I know this side of him. My only exposure to his existence were some outdoor reality shows that some of my children used to watch a decade ago. I really like your comment. Would you mind if I elevated it to its own post for greater visibility?
You can use this however you would like. I warn you, that I often tend to get too verbose, when I start to discuss certain subjects, especially those that I find are relevant to today and effect our freedom.
Looks fine to me.
