Sunday, February 4th, Richard resumed focus on “Finding God in Everyday Life.” He believes that we sometimes have difficulty experiencing the Divine in everyday life because we are not actively seeking God’s presence in the ordinary. Over the past few weeks, we have been exploring the ways in which we can become more open and sensitive to God’s presence in our everyday lives. This podcast our focus shifts somewhat as we explore Finding God in Doubt.  In these circumstances, we may be actually searching for God—or, at least seeking some fleeting evidence of God’s existence. Yet, despite our best intentions, God seems aloof or—perhaps—absent altogether. 

We begin to doubt God’s existence. Or, we encounter the hypocrisy, greed, and sinfulness of God’s Church and the self-proclaimed faithful who call themselves “Christians.” Under these circumstances we begin to question whether or not a God of love and peace would tolerate such apostasy. Since God seems to tolerate specifically anti-Christian attitudes and behaviors in the Church, we question whether there really is a “God.”
