As a mountain trekker and adventure junkie, I have undertaken many challenging journeys during my lifetime.  None of them, however, could have prepared me for my journey to find true north.

 

Raised a Christian, I had been taught that having faith, going to church and “religiously” following the rules would ensure me a solid relationship with God and point me in the direction of a meaningful future.  Despite my best efforts to live the  “right way”, I continuously found myself feeling lost in life.  Eventually, a series of challenging life events left me not only emotionally questioning my faith, but intellectually questioning the very existence of God.

 

As an attorney,  I understood the importance of finding evidence to defend truth.  As I began to question my faith in God it became painfully apparent to me I had somehow settled for blind-faith, barely able to articulate what I believed much less why I believed it.

​

Lost and determined to find direction, I asked myself some difficult questions...

·     Does God actually exist?

·     Who is God?

·     What does God want from me?

​

For the next seven years I painstakingly studied and researched arguments presented by scientists, philosophers, historians and theologians on both sides of these issues and weighed the evidence for myself.   That journey changed my life.

​

Navigating True North recounts my journey from blind-faith, based on everchanging worldly influences and forces I refer to as magnetic north, to an evidence-based bold faith which ultimately pointed me in the direction of true north.   Along the way, I also discovered a sense of  purpose, meaning and significance I had been searching for all my life.

​

If you have ever found yourself questioning your faith in God or questioning what you believe and why you believe it, I invite you to join me on this  journey and to weigh the evidence for yourself.  While the journey is not easy, it just could change your life!
