More About Being "Good Enough"

What Kind of Faith is GOOD ENOUGH?

  • A good enough faith will establish a sort of rhythm of life to sustain momentum. These are not an effort to ensure 7 Steps to Guaranteed Sainthood™, but rather to remind us that closeness with God is not just a question of belief. It is also in the small actions we can take. 

  • A good enough faith is not reaching for the impossible. We can’t be everything to everyone, or even enough for ourselves. We’re human. 

  • A good enough faith looks for beauty and truth in what’s possible. No, not everything is possible. But we will hunt for the places where we can find an opportunity for a little more.


Truths to Start Loving Even More 

  • We are made for interdependence.

  • We are fragile…and so is everyone else. But we can learn to live beautifully inside of our limited bodies. 

  • Yes, our stupid, imperfect, ordinary lives can be holy. Life will break your heart, and there’s nothing wrong with you if you know that. 

  • Sometimes joy and laughter and absurdity are the exact medicine we need, but also we need actual medicine. We love actual medicine too.
