Update 5/5/2013: I have removed the content of this original blog post as the article has been refined and published for the popular Christian magazine, Relevant Magazine. A link to the article can be found through the link below. It is out just in time for Kierkegaard’s 200th birthday (today). I much appreciate all the support.

Former Aspiring Philosopher 
I think Kierkegaard would be pleased. Changing the direction of his readers’ lives is his purpose for writing.
This is a misconception of Kierkegaard’s work. He is more Socratic than that.
Good post, Michaeldstark!
Acceptance of fear and anxiety has been a help for me too. Repression is like smuggling parrots in your pants – may work for a while, but you will get caught or they will get hungry.
Michael,
Thanks for sharing. I appreciate your openness and vulnerability, and the ways in which Kierkegaard has influenced, taught, and changed you. I wish you the best of luck at Trinity and in all your teaching endeavors.
