Religious vulnerability is a very real thing. The cost of being honest about your questions and doubts is high, but the cost of suppressing them is likely even higher. If we can’t find a safe place within church to be honest with our doubts and to wrestle with them then where do we go? If we could find more safe places to talk about these things and to be honest about these things perhaps we would see fewer people leaving church.
An episode about a weekend with Wayne Jacobsen in Kelowna, BC, Canada.
On this episode, Cindy and Renae get to pick Wayne Jacobsen’s brain on all things God, faith, raising kids in the midst of rethinking the institution of church, and why people who love Jesus keep leaving churches.
It’s less important where we’re attending on a Sunday morning and more important where the Spirit has planted us for the purposes of God and the Kingdom in our neighbourhoods.
Just going to church doesn’t make you a Christian any more than standing in your garage makes you a car. And God is not calling us to go to church; He is calling us to be His church, the hope of the world.
