Freedom and Imagination: Trusting Christ in an Age of Bad Faith Giere S. D.
We suffer today from a crisis not of confidence, but of trust. To tell the truth in such a world requires fortitude. With the constant barrage of lies, untruths, and alternative facts, all words are dubious, all deeds are debatable, and all motives are suspect.

Tending to faith is like tending to the heart and, thereby, the health of the whole. By trusting Christ, one is free to live without the fear of sin and death, free to live in love toward the friend, the neighbor, and even the enemy. Faith reveals the cosmos as it is: a world reconciled to the Triune God.
