Quotable: Faith Isn’t About Finding Answers | RELEVANT Magazine

Appreciated this article from Relevant.

The danger, though, isn’t that we don’t find all of the answers. The danger is that we think we can know them.Because faith doesn’t demand answers. Faith, by very definition, is being comfortable with what we dont know.

…

Our mission has shifted from embracing the wonder of an infinite God to building a box of absolute truths that let us understand Him and allow us to correct the “misconceptions” of others.

I write. I design. I read and think. I teach. I talk to people -- all kinds of people. My career journey includes working as a librarian, teaching for over a decade, working in higher education, freelancing as a graphic designer and marketing consultant, and earning a doctorate (as of 2022). My dream job would cross-pollinate the skills of barista and consultant, helping individuals and organizations understand the problems they face, ask better questions, and design solutions that work in their contexts. My research interests include improving STEM education in college classrooms, Design Thinking and human-centered design, relational and collective theories of leadership, knowledge life cycles within organizations, and faculty development. Somewhere back in time, my students started calling me "RameyLady" and the name stuck.
