Deep dives

The Significance of Embracing Discomfort in Spirituality

Living a life of faith requires a willingness to embrace discomfort and dissonance, acknowledging that the pursuit of true spirituality may not always align with immediate comfort and ease. The concept of 'refugee spirituality' emphasizes the idea of not feeling completely at home in the current world but rather longing for a deeper connection with God's kingdom to come. This approach encourages a sense of holy impatience, urging individuals to seek a higher spiritual purpose beyond simply settling for the status quo.
