Surviving a Crisis of Faith

Presented by Stephen Kenneally, M.B.A., M.A.

When life presents us with difficult experiences that challenge our fundamental view of the world and our place in it, our broader belief in the redemptive promise of life can become threatened. As previously held beliefs begin to erode or crumble, a sense of despair and cynicism may initiate a crisis of faith.  Drawing on psychological, historical, mythological, and religious material, we will address the process of grieving the loss of meaning in our lives, and the anguish and disorientation which can ultimately lead us towards a renewed commitment to life.

Course Objectives:

  • Describe what is meant by a crisis of faith
  • Using historical, religious, or mythological material, give an example of grieving the loss of meaning in one's life
  • Describe how the process of mourning can help an individual re-engage with life
