When you’re from a trinitarian Christian tradition, whether or not a doctrine of the Trinity is really in the Bible is more than an intellectual question. For one thing, there is the fear: am I angering God by asking these questions? And another huge factor is the peer pressure: it’s part of catholic traditions to harshly exclude, with little to no discussion, people who will not pay lip service to “the doctrine of the Trinity.”

On the other hand, there are Christians who’ve always had the blessing of being in a biblical unitarian group like the Christadelphians or the Church of God General Conference.

And then there are those who are blessed to be in a unitarian Christian group, but it is a high-control one, and they have to carefully work their way free from it.

In this new book, you’ll read the testimonies of eight unitarian Christians, each with a unique story. If you’re on any of these journeys, you’ll find things to relate to here. This episode is my interview with contributor and instigator Seneca Harbin, my wife Candise Tuggy, who contributed a chapter, and Anna Brown, who helped in the publication of this book for Living Hope International Ministries.

The subject is heavy, but as you’ll hear Seneca and his co-authors approach it with faith, hope, love, and a good sense of humor.
