Aspirational Faith: The Beauty of Knowing Less and Wanting More

Message Summary: There is a story in Mark about a man who asks Jesus to heal his son. In that conversation, the man cries out to Jesus, \u201cI believe, help my unbelief!\u201d In the paradox of having both doubt and belief, we find an invitation to bring our whole selves to Jesus without shame. When we remain open to \u201caspirational faith\u201d, we also find ourselves less fearful, cynical, and judgmental. Although it seems counter-intuitive, we can set into place practices to help us celebrate where our doubts can lead us, rather than be shamed by them.
