Struggling to keep your faith after a divorce, a diagnosis, a loss, or something you never saw coming? This episode is a practical way to build a theology for your unwanted story and firm up your faith instead of throwing it out. After shame vs. guilt, a Kingdom mindset, and a theology of divorce, today is about how to have faith “even if”: faith after the hard thing, after the impossible thing, in our unwanted stories.
One of the reasons I walked through my theology on divorce wasn’t only for you to consider your own. It was for you to consider your theology for your unwanted story. You might think it doesn’t have one, but it does. Your exact scenario may not be explicitly written in Scripture, but the theology you need for it is in there.
Some of what’s covered:
Why you have everything you need to live out your unwanted story, and why it comes from knowing God through his Word (2 Peter 1:3-4, 2 Timothy 3:16-17).
Why deconstruction doesn’t have to be scary. It can be a way to firm up your faith instead of throwing it out, and it’s better when you invite God into the process.
A five-step process for finding the theology for your unwanted story.
How to start a Bible search on your own topic.
Why “diligently” is the key word in Proverbs 8:17.
Why you need to write down for theology for the hard days ahead.
This may seem tedious and a little too research-heavy, but when it comes to your unwanted story, you need it. If you don’t take the time to firm up your faith by knowing what you believe about your story, you’ll stay stuck, spiraling, and knocked down over and over.
