Your doubts / are welcome
It’s that time of year when lights and decorations are going up all around us and Christmas music is playing in many of our favorite cafes and shops. But isn’t this just a way to entice us to spend money? Isn’t it just nostalgia clinging to our culture the way the early morning dew clings to a blade of grass? This site is here to help you explore those questions and to see if there is any substantive reason why thoughtful people with half a brain should consider the stories of Christmas as authentic and reliable.
Whether you have deeply held doubts, or deeply held faith, no question is off limits. Below are a number of resources I have found helpful in my fight with faith and my dance with doubt. I invite you to click around, watch some things, read some things, and if you want to engage further you can always reach out directly.
