How it all began -
It has only been a couple of years now that the word "sonship" has infiltrated the Christian rethoric/ theological discourse more frequently than ever before. In my case, it started in 2017 when - during a second season of being completely burned out - God (in form of a spiritual mentor) introduced me to this (then) still kind of newly considered revelation of what the concept of sonship entailed.
At that time I felt like the religious glasses I had worn and that had slowly but gradually turned into milky obstacles instead of serving as spiritual zoom in-ners started losing their effect as an aid. And this was not to my disappointment! On the contrary: hearing about this new take on kingdom identity I felt I had finally found what I was looking for all along. I was soaking it all in, like a dry sponge. Within the next couple of years, I saw myself eagerly feeding on as much from this newly discovered revelation as I could. And there was already some stuff out there...Kobus van Rensburg, Curry Blake, Chris Blackeby, Kirby de Lanerolle etc.. All great forerunners who dare diving deeper into the mysteries of who we really are as spiritual beings and new creation.
Fast forward to 2022 - Covid had struck me hard, real hard, and I saw myself bedridden once again - but not only that: as part of what life threw against me workwise, as well as the surfacing of severe issues concerning my family, I realized that everything that I had picked up on regarding my newly discovered identity had crumbled in front of my inner eyes. I had to come to terms with the fact that I had understood it - intellectually - in my mind...but not in my heart.
