In the past three days, I have had conversations with a few different young people who confess their struggle with their faith.
One of them confessed to me that at times, people have said things like "God is just psychological" and that our belief if just our minds playing tricks on us. This young person feels frightened by the prospect that he can see how people might conclude that.
Two of them shared stories about how wearying it is to "fake it" as a kid growing up in the church, i.e. having doubts and questions but not feeling free to verbalize them.
They all sounded frustrated and confused.
It was kind of depressing. I don't think I had anything earth shattering to say to help them.
