Who, or What, Do You Rely On?
The glue that holds life together
Everyone lives by faith. The question isn’t if you have it, but where you place it. Your choice defines your life.
What kind of faith?
Every day, consciously or not, we make decisions that rely on trust in people, systems, and ourselves. That trust shapes the outcomes of our actions, our relationships, and even our sense of security in the world.
What comes to mind when you hear the word “faith”? For many, especially in the South, religion is the first association. Yet faith goes beyond spiritual belief. It is a guiding force that touches every aspect of life. Without faith, life would be paralyzing; every step forward, every risk, every hope would be impossible.
To go through life without trusting something or someone is unthinkable. Faith is woven into the fabric of daily life, from personal relationships to societal systems. Oxford Languages defines it simply as: complete trust or confidence in someone or something.
Faith has many dimensions. Common synonyms include trust, belief, hope, confidence, conviction, and loyalty, concepts that often overlap in our experiences.
