It’s a bit of a shock when you realize much of the theology you learned as a kid isn’t as much Biblically based as it is politically based. Billy Graham, Dwight Eisenhower, and many denominations weren’t being led by God but by their own ego, disguised as what’s best for us. Jesus was a migrant,…
I have so many questions in working through and growing in my faith. As I find answers and resources, I plan to share it all! However, my ACTUAL first question was very simple. And also way bigger than I first imagined. Is all this questioning, digging, and learning ok? Like, is it allowed? I have…
Faithful resolutions are so much better than the others. The expectations for the year are realistic and basic. With the state of the world these days, I’m confident that was the right move heading into the New Year. While resolutions are hard to keep, we know looking for more happiness in our life is always…
