Ben's story, part 1: the 'inadequate' trajectory

Ben wishes he'd gone first, because his trajectory feels 'inadequate' next to theirs — he never had the dramatic interventions, and he's theologically open to that being either fine or a blindness. He traces his thread: reading straight through the Bible in high school, defending the faith in a mostly non-Christian college English department, telling his future wife on their first date he wouldn't marry a non-Christian, and drifting toward Pathway through Mike's bass invitation — then Dan's executive-pastor offer, which he accepted with no 'call,' just a practical sense that it was right.
