Without a doubt, there can be growth within a stage, but growth from one stage to another usually requires us to doubt the assumptions that give shape to our current stage*
Brian McLaren
I doubt life is simple and easy,
I need to doubt that I am unable to deal with life’s challenges,
I must doubt that life is only hard and ugly,
I will not doubt that life is all of these, and worth believing in.
*Brian McLaren’s Faith After Doubt; the four stages being simplicity, complexity, perplexity, and harmony.
