It is not reason which makes faith hard, but life.

I know that I've been guided by God. I am obedient.

Faith is a continuation of reason.

I am really committed to my faith journey, and I am committed to my family. My husband and I have been married for almost 30 years, and we homeschool our kids. We have a different working-out-of the-box family, but we do make it work, obviously with God's grace, and we are very grateful for that.

Know why you believe, understand what you believe, and possess a reason for the faith that is in you.

One way you can get really close to God is to sin as hard as you can.
