So often we are given the advice, “Have faith like a child.” But as Sarah Bessey (mother of four) points out, children have a lot of questions. In today’s day, with so many people struggling to make peace with their evolving faith, Sarah Bessey — author and speaker — reminds us there IS room for questions, for curiosity and for evolving faith.
When you allow curiosity to lead, it leaves you sitting with all the pieces of what you thought it was and an ever increasing understanding of what it actually is. The more you ask questions, the more you wonder and the more you stand in awe.
