I struggled so much out of bible college it wasn't funny. After years of hyped up preaching about reaching some magical spiritual state so God could use me I felt so far from that fictional ideal that I almost quit.

I'm so glad that God protected you in spite of all of the struggles and questions. You are probably much wiser and closer to God because of the process you went through.
I especially like what you pointed out about the preachers and super saints that make a good show of appearing to have it all together. I understand the pressure there is on ministry to appear to have it all together because I've been there. A lot of times leaders are putting on their happy faces when they're around church people, but they have just as many questions and uncertainties about things as anybody else.
It's not wrong to ask questions...it's not being rebellious or disrespectful. (Unless of course you just have a bad attitude)
