Highlights:

Embrace the ongoing process of spiritual growth and recognize that there is no arrival point.
Question expectations that God will make everything smooth sailing and happy.
Allow God the freedom to be creative in how He works in your life and the lives of others.
Recognize the tension between the objective and subjective experiences of God and embrace both.
Don't compare your spiritual journey to others, as each person's experience is unique. Experiencing God cannot be forced or limited to specific activities; it requires openness and a release of expectations.
The lack of space for doubt and lament in Christian worship songs, sermons, and church spaces can hinder authentic expression and growth.
Knowing the stories of God's people throughout history, including their struggles and questions, can provide comfort and perspective in times of doubt and anger.
A theology that acknowledges suffering and difficult questions is essential for a mature and authentic faith.
Faith is a fluid journey, and it may not fit neatly into a specific label or category. The focus should be on living out the kingdom of God in everyday life.
