Faith & Doubt 03 — God as Mosaic, Faith as a Creed
When you stay in the tradition long enough, you realize something unsettling: God doesn’t hold still. The moment you think you’ve got God figured out—a verse, a doctrine, a tidy metaphor—life shifts. A diagnosis, a betrayal, a miracle, a silence. Suddenly, God looks different again.
That’s what this episode is about. The idea that God is not static
. The story of Scripture is a moving picture—God in gardens, God in deserts, God in exile, God in flesh. From Genesis to Revelation, the divine keeps showing up in new and surprising forms. The faithful are always being asked to reorient, to find holiness inside the disorientation.
In this third piece of the Faith & Doubt series, I explore how faith was never meant to be a posture of certainty, but of fidelity. Faith as showing up. Faith as staying loyal even when the picture blurs. Because maybe what God wants from us isn’t perfect answers—but steady presence.
I talk about the danger of cherry-picking only the comforting images of God
—the gentle shepherd, the loving father, the still small voice—while ignoring the wilder parts: the fire, the storm, the silence that won’t speak. What if the truest picture of God is a mosaic? Jagged, colorful, and whole only when we hold all the pieces together.
That’s the center of this reflection. That faith is less about having answers and more about staying in the questions. That doubt doesn’t make you faithless—it makes you honest. God isn’t afraid of your questions; God is in them.
