Let’s talk about faith. Not just the kind your grandma talks about in church (though that’s totally valid), but the kind that lives inside you. The kind that helps you keep going when everything feels uncertain. The kind that grows quietly when no one’s watching. The kind that helps you find yourself.
So what is faith? And more importantly—how do you find yours?
The Real Definition of Faith (Beyond the Stereotypes)
When most people hear the word “faith,” they often picture religion, prayer, or something deeply spiritual. And yes, faith can totally be that. But faith is also more than just religion—it’s something spiritually deep.
Faith is a confident belief or trust in a person, idea, or thing—often without needing proof. It comes from the Latin word fides, which literally means “trust” or “confidence.” So whether you have faith in Christ, in your dreams, in love, or in yourself—you’re practicing faith.
And here’s the cool part: you don’t need to see it to believe in it. You feel it. You live it.
The Three Core Parts of Faith
To really get what faith is, think of it as a triangle with three combined angles:
- Cognitive (Mind): This is the belief part. It’s when you mentally agree that something is true. For example, “I believe I have a purpose,” or “I believe I’ll figure this out.”
- Emotional (Heart): This is the trust part. It’s what keeps you going even when life feels like a mess. It whispers, “I don’t know how, but it’s going to be okay.”
- Volitional (Action): This is the doing part. It’s the choice to keep moving, keep hoping, keep building—even when things aren’t certain.
Faith isn’t just thinking or feeling. It’s acting on what you believe, even when you’re scared. That’s where growth happens. That’s where you happen.
Finding Your Faith
Now comes the real question: What does faith look like for you?
Maybe faith for you is trusting that your broken heart will heal.
Maybe it’s believing that your dreams aren’t too big—even when people laugh.
Maybe it’s waking up and choosing you, every single day.
Finding your faith is about tuning out the noise and listening to your inner voice—the one that says you’re made for more, even when the world tells you otherwise.
Here are a few ways to start finding and strengthening your faith in Christ:
- Spend time with Him. Journal as if you were talking Him like prayer in writing.
- Surround yourself with people who lift you up. Faith grows by what one hears; attending your congregation, getting to know about true life testimonies.
- Read stories of people who’ve overcome hard things. Their faith can inspire yours. It’s like reading my blog.
- Speak life over yourself. Affirm what you want in Christ; until it becomes your reality.
Why Faith Matters—Especially Now
In a world where everything feels so fast, fake, and filtered, faith is your anchor. It’s what keeps you grounded when likes fade and friends ghost and plans fall apart.
It’s what helps you say:
“I don’t have it all figured out…but I trust in Christ that I’m becoming who I’m meant to be.”
Faith isn’t about being fearless. It’s about choosing belief in the face of fear.
So whether you’re 13 and figuring out who you are, 21 and stepping into your independence, or 29 and rebuilding after a loss—faith is your secret weapon. It’s the quiet power that says:
You’re not done. You’re still growing. You’re still finding you.
Final Thoughts
Faith isn’t something you borrow. It’s something you build. It’s not temporary because that’s hope.
So here’s to finding your faith.Trusting Christ (God) without a shadow of a doubt.
It’s a process……
And remember—your faith doesn’t have to be loud to be real. It just has to be a decision placed into action.
Hebrews 11:1 defines faith as the confidence in what we hope for and the assurance about what we do not see. This verse emphasizes that faith is a firm trust in God’s promises, even when they are not visible.
