6-11-23 -The Hard Truth of Faith and Trust

The readings this week are Genesis 12:1-9 and Psalm 33:1-12, or Hosea 5:15-6:6 and Psalm 50:7-15, Romans 4:13-25, and Matthew 9:9-13, 18-26.  This week we look at the faith that some in the scientific community have around the Ivory-Billed Woodpecker.  Though there are questions about its existence in 2023 even though there is a peer-reviewed journal article saying there is.  This is much like the trust it takes for us to have faith in God in general and be able to follow the footsteps of Jesus.  Thanks again for taking the time out to listen to this and I hope this is a tool that you find useful.

Remember to answer this week's question:

Where do you have faith to trust?

How much trust does it take to have faith?  #FaithandSciPod
