When the way forward isn’t clear, we long for a map. But life and faith offer something different — a compass. This reflection explores how rediscovering true north helps us begin again, even in the fog.
Begin Again — The Compass and the Map
Begin Again — The Joy of Not Knowing
Beginning again sounds hopeful — until it’s our turn to take the step. That’s when fear shows up. Not always loud and dramatic, but quiet and persuasive. It whispers questions we struggle to answer: What if this doesn’t work? What if I fail again? What if I step forward and nothing is there to hold …
