Text of excerpt, if available
Having faith is complicated, especially in a world that presents us with challenges throughout our lives. It's many of us very reasonably maybe questioning the nature or even existence of God in the face of tornadoes and tropical storms, police lynchings of black Americans, a devastating explosion in Lebanon, a global pandemic that isn't letting up the violence. We inflict on each other and on the planet and the destruction of the planet wreaks on us can be hard to have faith, but it isn't impossible
