As a woman, pelvic floor rehab is no joke. I can't imagine it for a man. Props to you for seeing it through!

Hi Rob! As a follow-up question, I've seen a lot of people in my age group (mid-20's) go through youth group with a more Emergent mindset (Rob Bell's Nooma videos were popular), but once they got out into the world and needed more of a foundation, swung way back the other direction to the Reformed church.

I see the benefits and the trouble of both sides of the equation. Do you think we'll see the church start to move to a belief somewhere in the middle of these two?

Also, thank you for being a positive voice for Christianity. My husband was a youth pastor for about three years and while it is wonderful, it is wildly draining to help students. I wouldn't trade the experience for the world and our students were amazing, but I wouldn't go back.

Edit: word

I recently went to Gary, West Virginia on a service trip to assist local families and homes, and encountered a lot of interesting stories and people who were warm and welcoming, despite some pretty rough conditions. Did you enjoy living in a small, tight-knit community like that in the 70's, and how did you see the community change over 30 years?
