Losing certainty feels like losing solid ground beneath your feet...
until you realize how much of it was unstable in the first place.
But once you've reached that point,
You can build a stronger foundation without the weakness of certainty.

Who benefits?
But don't just stop there.
Go deeper that the obvious surface answer.
Look at all the ripples.
You might be surprised.
Sometimes, healing from spiritual trauma begins when you realized that you weren't confused.
You were navigating something that actually didn't make sense in the first place.
Not everything unclear needs to be resolved.
Some things just need to be lived with.
It's not easy, though.

And not because the brain won't get quiet.
Over time, it exposes you.
It leaves you alone with what you've been afraid to see about yourself.
Then, you have to decide what to do with that.
It's a path to deep healing.
If you're willing to stick with it.

Letโs explore the ways your community has shaped not only your understanding of God, but also your experience of God.
See the post for details.
We learn a lot in our younger years about what is right and wrong, what is safe and unsafe.
And once that learning sets, it's hard to dislodge it.
If thinking honestly about religious truth feels dangerous, itโs worth asking who taught you that.
You may have a lot to work on there.
In our quest to know God, what if not knowing is actually part of the path, not a detour from it?
Some of the most grounded people I know are no longer trying to prove anything.
I think there's a lesson in there.

But is it helpful?
The goal of reading Scripture isnโt agreement.
It's transformation, which requires otherness.
Try to be around those hear different readings from the same texts.
It's okay to be different.

Before you open your eyes, something already has your devotion.
The only question is, what is it?
What gets your first "yes" of the day?
This Saturday at 11am CDT, join me for an online mini-retreat to explore this together.

You don't have to rush to put everything back into a new one.
In fact, not all those things are even going to fit...
Because now that you've grown, they aren't meant to.

Thinking freely will feel unsafe before it feels liberating.
It's going to take courage.
But you can do it.
Some beliefs only worked because you never questioned them.
That doesnโt make the questions the problem.
Isn't it strange that the more we grow in faith the less confident about it be we become?
Kind of like the rest of life, huh?
