Are We Really Allowed to Change What We Believe?

from Same, friend! · host Jen Vrooman

I'd love to hear from you! In this episode, I talk to spiritual director Kaysie Strickland about whether or not we are allowed to change what we believe. Many of us grew up in churches that did not invite mystery and questioning. Now, as adults, some of us wonder whether the changes we've made in our faith are OK. Some of us have left the faith traditions we grew up in. Some of us have chosen to explore other traditions. Others of us have left the church and, perhaps, God behind entirely because of the lack of compassion shown by those who say they represent him. In this episode, Kaysie and I explore the changes we've made and the very real experiences and feelings behind those changes. We hope you'll find kindness and refuge in our conversation, wherever you are on your journey.

Chesterton (1874 - 1936) LibriVox LibriVox volunteers bring you 9 recordings of The Song Against Songs by G. K. Chesterton. This was the Fortnightly Poetry project for October 16, 2011.Chesterton was a large man, standing 6 feet 4 inches (1.93 m) and weighing around 21 stone (130 kg; 290 lb). His girth gave rise to a famous anecdote. During World War I a lady in London asked why he was not 'out at the Front'; he replied, 'If you go round to the side, you will see that I am.' On another occasion he remarked to his friend George Bernard Shaw: "To look at you, anyone would think a famine had struck England". Shaw retorted, "To look at you, anyone would think you have caused it". P. G. Wodehouse once described a very loud crash as "a sound like Chesterton falling onto a sheet of tin."( Summary from Wikipedia ) Talent Stacker Jonathan Mendonsa Data suggests that the average cost of college in 2019 was $122,000 while the entry-level salary for a college graduate at the same time period was 50,000.
