Status Quo or Status Quest? - Anth Chapman - Sunday 20th March 2022

Anxiety And Learned Helplessness

It can be easily observed that the pursuit and expression of our faith may take on different forms at various stages in our lives. Can these stages be observed and understood in ways that help us take on new dimensions to our faith, in the same way that a tree adds rings over time?  
 
This message draws on thinking from writers such as Brian McLaren and Richard Rohr to question the earlier structures to our faith that may support us well for a time, but then fall short.   
 
This message will challenge you, if you let it, but there is great beauty to be found within and beyond any perplexity, when we keep walking.
