Sarah Bessey: Faith That Survives

What happens when the faith that once held you starts to unravel? When the certainty you clung to turns to dust? Sarah Bessey knows what it’s like to watch faith fall apart—and somehow find something more honest, more spacious, more real on the other side. In this Holy Week conversation, Kate and Sarah talk about what it means to sit in the wilderness of uncertainty, to be in the company of unanswered prayers, and to discover that faith was never about having it all figured out. If you’ve ever felt like you don’t belong in the faith you once knew, if you’ve ever wondered whether there’s still room for you here—this conversation is for you. In this conversation, Kate and Sarah discuss:

• Why faith is meant to evolve–and why certainty was never the goal
• The grief of spiritual disillusionment and what comes after
• The beauty (and cost) of trying to be faithful together
• Why God is not just in the light, but in the dark, too.
