Ignorance may explain where you are right now, but it should never become where you stay. Keep pursuing Him!

“It’s ok to be ignorant. Just don’t stay that way.”

- Lester Sumrall

“The heart of the prudent getteth knowledge; and the ear of the wise seeketh knowledge.” Proverbs 18:15

6/7 Edited to

... Read moreIn my personal journey, I have found that accepting one's ignorance is the first and most crucial step toward growth. Many times, I felt stuck because I was hesitant to admit what I didn't know. The quote "It's ok to be ignorant. Just don't stay that way." really resonated with me as it reminded me that ignorance is temporary and can be overcome. I also love how the article references Proverbs 18:15, which states, "The heart of the prudent getteth knowledge; and the ear of the wise seeketh knowledge." This verse has been a guiding principle for me, encouraging a mindset of humility and active learning. Whether through reading, conversations, or reflection, seeking knowledge requires intentional effort and curiosity. One practical way I embraced this mindset was by dedicating time daily to study scripture and other educational materials that broaden my understanding. Rather than feeling discouraged by gaps in knowledge, I focused on progress, knowing growth is a journey. Ignorance might explain where I was initially, but it never defined where I could go. Ultimately, pursuing Him and seeking wisdom through faith and learning transforms ignorance from a barrier into an opportunity for deeper insight and personal development. This lesson applies universally, reminding us all to keep moving forward with an open heart and a willingness to learn.

Rants from a Transman
Just opinions based off of my experience. It’s always insane to me as to why anyone would hate people in the same community they are apart of just because they don’t fit in a box. As if queer people were supposed to fit in a box. Also when I say “I am sick of cis people” it’s just because I’m exh

A Bible page titled "Brokenness: The Principle" from John 12:24-25, comparing life to a grain of wheat that must die to produce new life. Handwritten notes highlight giving up the old life and being planted in the soil for new growth and joy.
A Bible page titled "A Life of Becoming" from 2 Corinthians 4:7-18. The text explains that authentic Christianity is about becoming like Jesus, not just doing activities. Handwritten notes encourage taking comfort in God's provision and that His light can shine from any darkness.
