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.

Go here: https://linktr.ee/meaganskidmorecoaching __ Dr. Stacy Smalley joins me today in openly and vulnerably sharing how growing up Catholic has played a role throughout her life. She shares, "All 3 of [my sisters and I] still identify as Catholic, but don’t regularly go to church." Although her Mom in her words "'is more devout than I and goes to church every Sunday' --she has conversations with [me and my sisters] and feels we are spiritual in ways that work for us. There are no rules imposed from her." She shares that there have been times where [she has] to step back and decide what [she] wants to think and which parts to let go. "I do believe in something bigger than me; I don’t have to believe 100% and I can still believe it provides moral compass. My faith has taught me God and the universe are for me not against me."
