I have come to learn for myself that the opposite of faith is not doubt, but rather the opposite of faith is certainty! Having doubt is to be fundamentally human & asking questions is the first step to finding answers and clarity. Let’s shed the shadow of shame cast on doubt and instead seek and find clarity that only comes with asking questions.

episode 16: Episode 16. The 3 Motivators
There are three primary motivators for behavior. We usually do or say something from a place of fear (basic, primary, survival level), duty (a little more evolved) or love (highest level, what we strive for). Ask yourself honestly, what is motivating my “xyz action” or what was I feeling when I said “abc words?” If you aren’t sure, use this as a guide and ask: Did I speak those “abc words” out of fear? Did I say “abc words” because I felt it my duty? Were “abc words” coming from a place of genuine love for the person/group of people? As you consider these questions, it gives insight into what you are creating for yourself in your life and whether is it genuinely serving you. Interjecting oneself into the lives/choices/convos of others with the goal of changing their mind or behavior does not work. This is motivated by fear. It is a dead end that will drive wedges between individuals and families. That is also not God’s plan. Join me to gain insight into empowering oneself (& allowing others) to choose how to believe, to decide how to live your life, & what to create.
