Loving the Questions, Living the Questions

Answers are appealing to us humans. We hope they’ll lower our anxiety, deepen our confidence, offer us clear direction. But they don’t always do those things. Rather, questions might actually be what make space for courage, curiosity, and creativity—questions that we ask others, those that we wrestle with individually and in community, and those we are asked as a result of authentic encounter with Jesus. As we live into the turning of a new year, how might we open our hearts more fully to the questions that present themselves to us? How might we embrace the paradox, ambiguity, and messiness that are part of loving and living those questions?
