When Doubt Isn’t the End of the Story

I’ve come to believe that doubt is not something we need to hide from or be ashamed of. It shows up in all of us at one time or another, especially when life has been hard or hope feels fragile.

When I Forget What Holds Me

There are days when my faith feels quiet, almost like it has stepped back a bit. Not gone, just harder to notice beneath the weight of the day.

And yet, right in the middle of this moment, Jesus’ words refuse to loosen their grip: “You are the light of the world.” Not advice. Not poetry. A claim. A responsibility we don’t get to postpone until things calm down.

What Will We Do Now

When I sit with Matthew 4:12–23 today, I can’t ignore how familiar the setting feels. Jesus begins his public life after John is arrested. The machinery of power is already in motion. Fear is already in the air. Voices are already being silenced.

Where God Shows Up

Joan Chittister once wrote, “If you want to know where God is, find the space in your heart that is open to all humankind. ” I sit with that line because it won’t let me settle for a faith that stays safe or polite.
