[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I’m with the poster who believes there was a fundamental element of dishonesty here.  He did not just sing Christian songs to make a living.  You don’t have to be a believer to sing catchy songs with words you don’t believe.  But these types of artists go on Christian radio and go to churches and talk about faith and spirituality and what they do is considered a form of ministry.  But he never had a spiritual practice- he didn’t want to go to church or read the Bible or pray.  That’s absolutely fine.  Then why did he choose this career and all that it entails?  Was he active in promoting himself in churches... and lying about his relationship with God?  He grew up in the church, he knew what he was signing up for.  Why didn’t he get any mentorship or guidance about his spiritual life?  I don’t understand any of this and I don’t know why he didn’t back out of his career FIRST when he realized he was having these issues.  But I can’t judge his doubting his faith, that is something everyone goes through at one point, and we are all allowed to come to our own conclusions.  I just wonder what he was going out and tell people during this entire period as someone who actually had a ministry.[/quote]

How do you know that he "never had a spiritual practice"?  Let's say that he got into this work because he had both musical talent and faith. Do you think he should have quit his job with his first doubts?  If so, then perhaps people should cut off their church membership if they have doubts and not start back up until the doubts fade.

There would be a lot of bouncing in and out of church if that were the case.

Please read his post and come back when you know what’s going on.[/quote]
