Field Notes for the Wilderness: Hope for When You're Wandering with Sarah Bessey


Listen Later

Do you feel isolated by the complexities of an evolving faith? Are you struggling to know how to hold the uncertainty you feel in this season?

For so many of us, faith has subconsciously become synonymous with certainty.

But what do we do when the answers seem to fall short of our experience and our faith feels more like wilderness than the trusted terrain we once knew?

Join Mary and Sarah Bessey, author and teacher, as they discuss the stages of faith formation, the nuanced realities of deconstruction, and the hope we can offer one another in the wilderness.

Tune in to hear,

  • Why faith is not a static construct
  • The 4 steps you walk through when re-configuring your faith
  • How to hold space for who you have been and who you are becoming

If you have been longing for a soft place to land with the questions you have been carrying, this conversation will be a balm to your soul.

Trust me, friend, you will return to this conversation time and time again!
