Religion & Spirituality
It may be because I came to Jesus as a teenager, but I’ve always felt like my faith is sturdy precisely because I chose it after being exposed to so many other worldviews. All else was found wanting—and Jesus offered me everything. I am not afraid to allow my children to use their minds and discern, in fact, I think by reading and talking and wondering together, we can grow much closer to God in a way that is honest and not shallow.I still hold this same view for myself. My faith is not in danger by challenging my mind. In fact, my faith is much more endangered by atrophy if I do not challenge myself. It cannot be our position to only interact with quote-unquote intellectually safe material—or we will lose our ability to discern at all. And, this lack of discernment is sorely missed when we need it.Links From the Show:1. The tweet about Little Women costumes!2. On Flowers by Amy Merrick3. Floret Flowers4. Vogue 73 Questions
