Thank you for this.

I find that I am one to be influenced by these 'pushers'.

My husband is constantly reminding me that it is the principle that matters and faithfulness looks different for different people and families.

Thank you for this – you’ve addressed something that has been on my mind. I would love to hear more, both principles and some practical ideas for what to do.

One factor to consider in evaluating these sorts of folks is, "Can I adopt just one product/part and see how that goes, or do I have to swallow the whole thing?"

I pick and choose from everyone, especially in the Christian space. For example, I never bought into Bill Gothard's whole system, but there were some things of value. Same with many other Christian teachers. But that will keep you on the outside of most groups!

Thank you - such legalism can come into play in so many ways!
