Living light: On seeking and finding true faith
It’s hard to grow up in today’s societies without inheriting ideas and beliefs about God, Christ, religion and spirituality. We may believe or disbelieve any number of things we’ve been taught. But it’s hard to sort it all out.
What’s true? What’s somewhat true? What’s in error?
It’s possible to discover this—to know the truth. To find something we can have faith in.
We start by meeting ourselves where and as we are.
Because true faith is not something we need to believe in. It’s something we can discover—within ourselves.
