Hi everybody Mike Erie here welcome to the Vox podcast I'm flying solo today

for reasons that will soon be obvious I wanted to share something that I initially wasn't going to share but I had

written it for Q Commons, which was an event we did in Costa Mesa several weeks ago.

And Q, if you're not familiar with it, it's kind of like Ted Talks for Christians, pushing conversations, staying curious.

We'll actually have the audio from that from our cue local speakers.

There's a national lineup of speakers and there are local speakers at the various locations

you know throughout the world for Q and I was one of the local speakers at an event in Costa Mesa and And the topic I was speaking on

was spiritual homelessness, which is a topic near and dear

to our hearts at the Vox Podcast.

But what we ended, what I ended up doing I was after talking with a friend

I wanted to not talk about spiritual homelessness as much as just talk to those who are spiritually homeless and so I ended up writing a letter that I literally just got up and

read aloud at the conference and I had no intention on making that

public other than just releasing the audio from the episode but there was there was

such great feedback and a lot of people asking for a copy of it that we thought,

okay, well, we'll just release it as its own thing.

And, you know, for those it helps fantastic otherwise we'll be back to sort of

regular episodes later in the week now so so all I'm gonna do with this episode of the podcast is I'm going to read the letter that I read at Q Commons and then we'll attach it or have it on our website or something in case you're interested in it.

But there was this was meant to be read aloud.

That's why we're not just released in the letter by itself. And it was purposefully structured to sound a little bibally.

And you'll see what I mean in a second.

Again, I feel sort of silly releasing this on its own but but again there was a lot of a lot of curiosity about it and requests for it. So anyway here you go.

An open letter to the spiritually homeless.
