The Message: Don't Freak Out About Doubt by Brian Zahnd

Words of wisdom for those wrestling with doubt:
1. Leave room for mystery
2. Let the church carry you
3. Fall into trust"
Brian Zahnd

“Sometimes a dark night of doubt really does lead to a new dawn of a better faith.”
 Brian Zahnd

“Theological deconstruction/reconstruction often begins by doubting something. And not all doubt is bad because there are some theological ideas that you need to doubt.”  Brian Zahnd

After the gathering.
I made it home. I rested up and made my way to my sister's house. We had a small gathering.

By the end of the day, I was watching a movie. I was tried out by bedtime.  In all it was a wonderful Sunday.  I begin to prepare for me week. And what a week it has been becoming.

Enjoy the Last Week of Easter 2018!
Thanks for reading.
God bless you.
