Summary

It has been almost two years since I first publicly shared about my faith crisis. It was something that I had battled with in my mind for many years, but took a long time to share with close friends and family. And then I shared it on this podcast. The response was overwhelming and wonderful, and to this day I have talked with many of you about it. Today I bring the follow up, letting you know where I am now, and how to persevere when spiritual doors seem closed. Whether you have also questioned, or struggled with your faith, or if you haven't, I think my insight is worth listening to. For those who have felt like me, I have narrowed it down to 5 things that fuel my faith perseverance. They are not your typical answers, I hope they help guide you, too. For those that don't understand this type of struggle, I hope you listen and it will help you when you cross paths with someone like me. I believe that unity is not all having the same thoughts, but is having the same purpose. We are all lost lambs seeking each other. I am different AND I am enough, and so are you.
