Our Doubts

Last night we talked about dealing with doubts.  Many times the idea of having doubts in our faith is scary and something that we’ve been taught to avoid.  But Jesus shows something different.  He shows us to lean into our doubts.  To be honest about where we are and what we’re struggling with.  So that’s what we did last night.

We were honest about where we are.  We were honest about what we’re wrestling with God about.  We were open about the holes we have in our faith…and we’d love to share those with you.

This is an honest representation of our community and our faith.  We don’t have it all figured out.  We don’t know the answers to many of these questions, and we don’t know if we’re ever going to get the answer we want…but we do know that God is not intimidated by these things.

And we believe it’s our role to lean into these doubts and join together around them.

COLLEGEAGE MOVEMENT IS A PLACE WHERE WE HAVE DOUBTS ABOUT…
