Speaker: Vince Klassen
When I was a teenager, I became an atheist. Strange for a pastor to say I know, but I had experienced such a profound break between what I believed about God and what I was experiencing in my life that I just couldn't deal with the tension, so I quit. I quit God. I quit my religion. I quit it all
Where in your life has your view of God and your life come into conflict?
- Was it in seeing current events that don't square with a loving God?
- Living a life that someone told you makes God angry?
- In valuing things that your tradition told you would upset God?
- Loving a person that they said God didn't want you to love?
- Or maybe this isn't your story but its a story of someone you love and you watched them throw away everything they once believed.
What do you do when the God you are looking for seems to have left the building? What do you do when your view of God and your life don't match up well?
This talk will be an exploration of spiritual freedom that can help each and every person find the divine again, no matter what broke for them. It helped me find God again where I wasn't even looking. And it gave me a lens to see the world through divine eyes.
