Scenario

When spiritual leaders lose their own faith

My wife and I lead a prayer group together but we're going through our own crisis of faith right now and we don't know how to keep holding space for others when we can barely hold onto our own belief. Everyone looks to us for answers and we're pretending we have them while secretly wondering if we believe any of it anymore.

More people experience this than they realize.

What we've seen

The shepherd's dark night becomes the flock's confusion, and authenticity wars with responsibility in the tender space of shared seeking.
