Thanks for this. I love the part about holy imagination. When you said “But what if faith isn’t about growing out of imagination…but growing into it?” It really resonated with me because that’s the message we’ve been preaching and teaching for many years. If only the Church could see with our minds eye, all God is doing and wanting to do!! How would that change home we live and share Him with others?!!
Thanks so much, Rich – that means a lot. I’ve found myself coming back to that phrase too: growing into imagination. There’s something so freeing in realising that God doesn’t ask us to leave childlike wonder behind, but to carry it with us – to let it open us up to His possibilities, not just our plans. I love what you said about the Church seeing with its mind’s eye – what a shift that would be. Less control, more curiosity. Less certainty, more Spirit-led movement. Here’s to more of that kind of faith
