Disclaimer:
The purpose of this AO is to push the PAX along their journey in developing the 3rd F – Faith. We recognize that PAX are at their own place on the journey and proceed at their own pace. PAX are encouraged to share. It is not required to share (wise men learn by listening), but there is a requirement to allow others to share. What is shared in this 3rd F stays with the 3rd F; it is a COT. None of the PAX has a monopoly on the truth, though we are all truth seekers. It is fine to disagree. If there are not disagreements, then we are probably doing it wrong.
This 3rd F event:
- Is free of charge,
- Is a discussion based on the Christian faith, but is open to all men,
- Is peer led by volunteer Qs who may or may not be certified/ordained.
THE THANG :
Each PAX shared their spiritual background, when they started seeking God, and where they’re at now on their spiritual journey.
Common Themes :
- Every PAX had bad experiences with religion and good experiences with religion.
- We’ve all made mistakes.
- There came a time when each PAX wanted to seek God for themselves rather than what someone told them.
- We are all still on a faith journey.
QIC appreciates each PAX being vulnerable to share their own unique experience with God. They didn’t have to share but they did. This topic was a great ice breaker because this was only QIC’s third 3F post so QIC is still getting to know a lot of PAX. Hearing about others’ spiritual backgrounds helps QIC to understand the PAX in a deeper way to know where they’re coming from. It will help navigate QIC for future 3F Q’s.
