My dad just had a heart attack, and it made me want to waver on my decision to cut him from my

life. I was considering reaching out to him if he wakes up from his coma.

Thankfully, I have a wife to keep me morally consistent. The freedom in community was helpful,

too. But it all woke me up to an issue. I waver. I'm now 34. I started listening to you,

Stefan, at about age 19. I consumed your content with

zeal and spread your ideas and arguments among my friends and peers while I studied philosophy

I suppose it was entertainment, a real shame because I could have saved myself a lot of time

in trouble. I knew what

was true, but I waved on those principles and pursued bad women, bad friends, a bad degree, and a bad

career goal in uni Acadelia. At 22, I moved to Japan for a one-year soul-searching trip. Japan was very

pleasant. My decision wavered. I stayed there for nine years without a clear goal.

After another failed, lust-based relationship there, I started to try to actually apply

Stefan's principles to my life. I was getting more and more serious and jealous about living with

moral and philosophical consistency. At about 25, I cut off contact with my parents after having

the talk. At 27, I waver contact with my parents after having the talk.

At 27, I wavered.

I decided philosophy was insufficient for ascertaining true meaning and moral clarity

and became a fundamental Baptist Christian, devoted to following the Bible to the letter.

This included re-establishing family contact for the purpose of evangelizing them.

My parents and brother converted.

I married a Japanese Christian woman.
