We felt a lot. And eventually, we felt like we needed to lay it all down and walk away to make room for something new. People who were a core part of the collective of Gungor went on to do some amazing things and play with some incredible artists. Lisa and I made solo projects under different monikers. Lisa wrote a book and started a retreat. More than anything. In fact, God is, in a way, the only thing I love because I see God as love.
It is God I love when I love my girls. It is God I love when I let go to experience the fullness of the sensations, pleasures, and desires of being alive in and as a body. Have sex with everyone? And I was like, Wow, he is still a great father. But even that was precarious. It came not long after Lisa and her husband visited Auschwitz, the infamous concentration camp in Poland and were feeling especially aggrieved over the sheer amount of evil in the world.
A cousin was fighting a losing battle against cancer, and the rest of the family was praying for miraculous healing. And I want to do that and have that feeling because I miss that.
I miss that rejoicing. God has broken into the world and decided to heal someone. I tried to just wash away the questions I had. I went on a finely worded rant, all in my head and with Michael. This whole idea is garbage! I wanted that to be different. And she says the core question—the thing it all boiled down to was love. The answer to this question arrived through a lot of labor. As a parent, I can understand that.
I want to raise my kids with this idea of the world and faith. It was a path we had to be on. We are the body of Christ. How did a Christian worship artist reach the point of denying the exclusivity of Christ and becoming a self-proclaimed mystic? In , Michael Gungor said that he struggled with doubts to the point of calling himself an atheist. While he returned to a belief in a deity, his comments in show that his thinking was no longer biblically based.
Gungor explained in a post ,. I have no ability to believe that there was a flood that covered all the highest mountains of the world only 4, years ago and that all of the animal species that exist today are here because they were carried on an ark and then somehow walked or flew all around the world from a mountain in the middle east after the water dried up. But I have a choice on what to do with these unbeliefs.
