Thanks, Andrew! Yes, formation, patience, and hope. It's amazing how unified the biblical authors are on the topic of being in the world but not of the world.
This really resonated. I appreciate how you frame Babylon not as something to flee in panic or baptize in naïveté, but as the place where faithfulness is patiently learned. Exile as formation rather than failure feels like a deeply biblical recovery—Jeremiah, Daniel, even Peter’s language of sojourners echo quietly underneath this. Grateful for the clarity and steadiness here.
This was so good, and so timely. I was reading revelation 17&18 today and then went back to Jeremiah. I felt confirmation about my thoughts on never fitting into either camp, and not even wanting to. Some call it a third way, I just want to follow Jesus and be found faithful.
Thank you! Yes, I see it so often. Like I don't agree with any of you... or at times both of you. But I'm not taking a side at all - I just want whatever is right, true, and good. AKA Jesus
