INSIGHT

Faith As A Search, Not An End

  • Faith ebbs and flows; Finding Faith reframes crisis as a search rather than an endpoint.
  • Jared Halverson will focus on definitions, stages, and practical supports to rebuild faith.
ADVICE

Start By Defining Terms

  • Define terms early: clarify what you mean by faith, doubt, and disappointment.
  • Tackle doubt and disappointment separately to address different needs and remedies.
ADVICE

Use Proving Contraries

  • Use 'proving contraries' to balance perspectives by adding the opposite truth.
  • Combine mind and heart: study and faith together strengthen conviction.
