Faith has two sides: the kind that moves mountains, and the kind that endures when the mountain stays put. We explore the idea that faith is a belief held strongly enough to change your actions — and sit with the tension between those two postures. We also push back on the wistful assumption that faith would have come easier in biblical times. The Old Testament can sound like God was vivid and inescapable, and it's tempting to think we'd have responded differently face-to-face with Jesus — but the biblical record suggests God was just as easy to ignore then as he can feel today.
