How do we believe, and what does that mean about who are and what we do.

1. There are a
lot of words
about what
you have to
believe to be
a faithful
person…

2. …But no one
Talks about
how to
believe

3. …How do I
understand
faith that
seems to
conflict with
science and
pluralism?

4. How do we
believe, when
belief is usually
based on an
events that defy
logic, reason,
and human
experience?

5. Because of
that
we learn
that we can
endure and
transform.

6. We learn
that You
can’t get to
the new
unless you go
through
the end
of the old -

7. We live in a
pattern of
renewal.

8. How
do we
believe?

9. How do we
look at the
sunrise and
set – and
everything in
between and
not believe?

10. So if we are
believers ?
How should
we behave?

12. This simple
concept can
be found in
all religions

13. Behaving is
constantly
asking…
What should
I do?

14. How do I
make a
difference in
the world?

15. The great
people of
faith
stories, are
not more
religious
than you.

16. They are
you!
They too are
just making
their way
through each
day trying to
do their best

17. Ask yourself,
if what you
do and say
today
became the
only record
of your
faith…

18. …If who we
are today
was all that
people of
faith had left,
what would
that say?

19. Behave as
though you were
the only way
someone will
ever experience
faith…
BECAUSE
YOU ARE

20. That may feel
like an
overwhelming
responsibility

21. But you are
not alone..
You belong

22. Who do you
give your time
to and what
does that say
about you?

23. Because you
belong to
God…. You
are beloved
and valued

24. So live as someone
who - although you
don’t have it all
figured out – because
none of us do –
knows who you
are…and more
trusts in who you
will become…

25. How do you
believe?
You let yourself
become a part
of the Divine
Imagination in
the world

26. There must be
a
tomorrow, bec
ause
my life
overflows
today.
