I couldn’t have said it better and it’s something I’ve been giving some serious time to over the past few years. Being curious and having doubt is a healthy thing, a life giving thing, a necessary thing for growth in answering Christ’s invitation to follow Him. Not a failure of faith or a weakness rather an invitation for Christ to enter the conversation and strengthen your faith and character.
True Dat! Even those of us who were raised in church were taught ideas and behaviors that are not Biblical at all. I don't think it was intentional, but learning from people who were taught incorrectly makes us vulnerable to believing something just because someone at church said it. Thanks for the encouragement to stay curious, to continue reading, and ask questions.
Thank you for these words of encouragement and correction, brother. I so appreciate your shepherd’s heart for pastors and the flocks entrusted to our care… again, such a powerful word - thank yoU!
