This Old House

Doug Davis

Like renovating an old house, renovation of spiritual life is essential for growth. Traditions can become outdated and limit our relationship with God. Critically examining beliefs, being open to change, and finding a supportive community are crucial for spiritual renewal and deepening our connection with Jesus.

Community Discussion

Hi. I just want to thank you for a very thoughtful and helpful article. I listened to it yesterday and resonated with a lot of your sentiments and approach to our faith. Challenging the status quo in ourselves and our community, and learning to question and search can be difficult. But, I've found, it's so worth it in terms of renewed faith, enthusiasm and a sense of humility, that a faith based on certainty doesn't provide somehow. Anyway. Thanks again. Love and God bless

Thank you, Rose, for sharing your thoughts on my Press on Journal, and I am glad it resonated with you. I know many share these same thoughts but are uncomfortable expressing their views for various reasons, primarily due to fear of how they will be received or challenging the status quo. However, I am encouraged by what I am hearing and seeing, and I hope our community will be open enough to begin the dialogue which needs to happen for us to thrive. God bless,
