Son of Sam

Note:

I don’t know how it will sound to listeners, but I was surprised by the internal tug-of-war that this brought up. While others my age were starting families and careers, I was investing all of my young strength and fresh religious zeal in navigating the broken religious environment of 2x2 ministry, alone. For years, I believed that one of my greatest, against-all-odds victories was the relationship I cultivated with my first ‘overseer’, Sam McCracken. It’s hard to acknowledge to myself that the time and effort would have been better spent elsewhere. While recording this, I realized how eager I still am to reach for the rose-colored glasses.
