It hit me like a ton of bricks tonight how beautifully Elder Uchtdorf’s statement:
first doubt your doubts before you doubt your faith
parallels Fowler’s stages of faith. Stage 3 really is a “doubt your doubts” stage. Many people, as has been mentioned above, won’t need to move past that stage. They’ll be perfectly content in stage 3. However, many of us will not be spiritually content in this stage and will move on to the “doubt your faith” stage (stage 4). Does anyone else find this correlation strangely coincidental?
Matt, I like it! :thumbup:
What’s stage 5? Accept your doubts, your beliefs, others’ doubts, and others’ beliefs?
