I think that part of how he bears it so well is that he truly does find his identity in Christ and not in the opinions of others or even what he himself writes.

I applaud men like Brian McLaren for boldly daring to be misread and misunderstood in the name of sharing precious gems. Never claiming to have it all right or together, he puts it out there for people to think about - even if they don't buy it hook, line, and sinker. And he knows (like you and I) that's it's okay not to buy it 100% (that's part of faith). You write, "Perhaps part of working through the qualifiers is boldly daring to be misread and misunderstood…"
