WAITING THROUGH THE DESERTS OF LIFE | SOCIAL HALL AT 6:30 PM
W.H. Vanstone wrote that “waiting can be the most intense and poignant of all human experiences.” We’ve all waited in our own ways — through periods of discernment, infertility, illness, grief — and these times can be grueling and difficult. But what if we saw our times of waiting as an opportunity to grow into a more mature faith? In this talk, we’ll look at our tendency toward “acedia” historically and in modern-day life; discuss the difference between active and passive waiting; and you’ll leave with an understanding of the spiritual benefits of patience.
