Have you every actually done a trust fall?
I’m confident you know what it is in theory, but my sense is that trust falls are like political contentment: We know it’s a thing, but very few have experienced it.
In order to say more about the idea of faith-as-trust, I’m going to pull from a few stories from the Gospels of Luke and Matthew. Third, there’s a mother whose child was possessed by evil spirits, and when her own religion failed her, she risked crossing cultural boundaries to seek out a Jewish rabbi for help.
To the Roman centurion, Jesus says: “I tell you, even in Israel I haven’t found faith like this,” and the sick servant is healed. But if I’m being honest, I find such explanations deeply unsatisfying, and not at all consistent with my own experiences in life. Not only does it put way too much pressure on us to get it right or to do better, but it also props up a view of a God whoit until us finite, limited, poor creatures can get it right.
I wonder, then, where that leaves us. What do we do when life’s systems and institutions and other humans make promises they can’t keep, and give us sand beneath our feet to stand upon whilst calling it stone?
