living through uncertainty with faith
A life of faith does not prevent us from experiencing periods of uncertainty. Those times can leave us feeling disoriented and uncomfortable, even questioning where God is. This experience is called liminal--the time between what was and what is to be. This playlist is designed to help you find faith, encouragement, and guidance for navigating through uncertain times.
