We can choose to let go of the shame that often accompanies having questions/doubts. We give ourselves permission to have them through acknowledging their presence. When we resist, deny or ignore our questions/doubts, we are being dishonest to ourselves. We cannot have and exercise FAITH if uncertainty and doubt do not exist. In this episode I explore how faith and doubt can co-exist without it being a problem. It’s actually much more mentally healthy than ignoring, resisting, or avoiding it. Listen to today's episde as I share that I have learned how leaning into the uncertainty and the unknown can be a blessing. Let’s call this distance between where we are and where we want to be 'the gap.' -such experiences can produce an unsettling sense of uncertainty…" If that is you-I feel you, I see you, I get you.Īccording to the Hafen's in Faith is Not Blind, "Our experience with real life often introduces a new dimension-a growing awareness of a gap between the real and the ideal, between what IS and what OUTGHT to be. There have been times that it has been so for me. When the tenets of one’s faith and the realities of your LIVED experience, your firsthand experience-are in stark contrast the cognitive dissonance is overwhelming.

As part of this work I am conducting interviews appx. I’m currently in the process of creating a group program specifically for mamas of LGBTQ+ kiddos. Listen to today's episode as I share why it’s essential, and the role cognitive dissonance contributes to this gap. Point A and B are both very important and so valuable to us, it’s not just worth our time to build a bridge to connect them- it’s absolutely essential. It’s in the acknowledging that there’s something missing between point A and point B that we see the need for a bridge. By doing so, we then acknowledge that there is in fact a need for a bridge of some kind. I think it’s really important to not just consider that there’s a gap but absolutely acknowledge that one exists.
