Faith
/We live in a world in which things are always changing—certainty, health, relationships, even the version of faith we grew up with. And yet Paul, writing to a community tearing itself apart, lands on three things he insists will outlast everything else: faith, hope, and love. To be clear, these aren’t achievements to master or doctrines to defend, but the very shape of a life oriented toward God. In this series, we'll sit with these three ancient, yet lasting gifts and seek to rest deeply into them, even when everything else is stripped away.
This week we begin with faith—not as a set of beliefs to hold correctly in your head, but as something closer to trust: a load-bearing ground you can stand on and lean your weight into. For those of us who have torn a lot down, what remains underneath the rubble may be less a list of right ideas than an ocean of mystery—resurrection, incarnation, Trinity, atonement—wide enough to wade into and deep enough to hold us up.
