About The Author

Jeromy Johnson
I live in Folsom, CA, with my wife, Jennifer, and three kids. I am surrounded by and cared for deeply by some great friends. Their love for me is truly a moonlit reflection of Papa's love, and for that, I am deeply blessed and grateful.

    Snobs. People who think it’s about a presupposition of ideas and hold it over you when you don’t think the same way.

    Glory. How good God really is when I get out of the way.

    my least favorite things about religion: legalism, comparing where one person is on the path to righteousness with another person, and praise bands (see the Facebook group: “Praise bands annoy God”)

    my favorite things: community, fellowship, wine (i’m an episcopalian), love, grace, faith, Jesus

    I find it sad when we act like and claim that we have nailed God and God’s ways down…as if we could know. Worse is when we judge people based on our “God” knowledge…as if we should judge. Even worse is when we tell people what God is going to do to/with them when they die…as if that’s our place.

    I love it when we love.

    I find it frustrating that so much of Christianity is necessarily irrational, the things of the Spirit are so elusive, that prayer is completely incomprehensible, that so many Christians are complete fruitcakes.

    It blesses me that God loves me and forgives me and that His Word repeatedly withstands hostile scrutiny.
