It is far better to be “unclean” and wrapped in Christ’s robes of righteousness than to be “clean” but covered in the bloody rags of self-righteousness when He judges all people for the deeds they have done.

I was homeschooled and I'm grateful for it, but I completely get this. I'm in my mid twenties and still not entirely comfortable stepping outside of my bubble. Some of this is awkwardness that I likely would have had whatever my upbringing (mild ADHD), other things are a definite result of being sheltered. My parents agree that they probably hid from the world a bit much and should have taken more opportunities to do things out in the world.

When, God willing, I have children of my own, I'll likely homeschool them, but I'll also be trying to raise them to have compassion and grace and actually be in the world loving people. (My current trajectory might end up with them being missionary kids which would add another level of complication, but I'm at least as likely to end up a single missionary.)
