If they sense that I have any trace of disbelief in their answer, their plea for me to believe them quickly becomes urgent. \u201cI did, mom, I did, you <i>have<\/i> to believe me!\u201d they cry, their whole body postured to compel me to believe. All of a sudden, it is no longer about the issue at hand, it is about my affirmation of their personhood, whether or not I love and embrace them unconditionally.<\/p>\n<p>There\u2019s something about being believed in that brings wholeness to our identity.<\/p>\n<p>When I look at much of the injustice that plagues our world today, it often comes down to a question of unbelief. Consider this, experts estimate only about 15-20 percent of victims of sexual assault report to law <a href=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonpost.com\/news\/fact-checker\/wp\/2014\/12\/09\/the-truth-about-a-viral-graphic-on-rape-statistics\/\" target=\"_blank\">enforcement<\/a>. Often, it is because of the stigma and shame of reporting and the fear of not being believed or even blamed for the rape. Due to rampant sexism, <em><strong>the women\u2019s testimony is often dismissed over the man\u2019s.\u00a0<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n<p>Then there are the many folks who deny Black Lives Matter and retort with All Lives Matter. When those in the black community report to living in fear of being pulled over by cops and the myriad of ways they experience racism, they aren\u2019t believed. \u201cIt\u2019s not a problem anymore, we are post-racial,\u201d this messaging from the status quo rings louder and truer than the <em><strong>actual stories of black people.<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n<p>GLBTQ Christians have been explaining tirelessly, over and over again, please don\u2019t say, \u201cLove the sinner, hate the sin,\u201d it perpetuates homophobia and it erases our identity. <em><strong>They tell us they feel hurt, hated, excluded, but they are not believed.<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n<p>I know it isn\u2019t just the religious who marginalize women, racial and sexual minorities, but oftentimes it is. Why is it so difficult for people of faith, who manage to structure their community and life around the belief of an unseen God, not able to believe the very visible, tangible words and cries of their flesh-and-blood neighbors? Who forget that the very image of God is imprinted into these bodies?<\/p>\n<p><strong>O you of little faith, why don\u2019t you believe?<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>It is as if they have blinders on their eyes and thick earwax blocking their hearing.<\/p>\n<p>Funny because these people of so little faith are often the ones who accuse others of turning away from God, of ignoring \u201cclearly biblical\u201d commands, of bowing to the cultural pressures of the evil modern age. They *think* their faith is strong as a bulwark, unbudging and steadfast.<\/p>\n<p>But I tell you <em><strong>a faith that has lost the ability to imagine the other\u2019s existence is stale and loses the capacity to stir the Spirit of Love.<\/strong><\/em> A faith in a God for the suffering that ignores the suffering of the marginalized is living a lie. A faith that doesn\u2019t believe is an oxymoron. Paradoxical. Self-contradictory.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-2190\" src=\"https:\/\/cindywangbrandt.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/06\/cindywangbrandt.com_-3.jpg\" alt=\"cindywangbrandt.com\" width=\"800\" height=\"500\" srcset=\"https:\/\/cindywangbrandt.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/06\/cindywangbrandt.com_-3.jpg 800w, https:\/\/cindywangbrandt.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/06\/cindywangbrandt.com_-3-300x188.jpg 300w, https:\/\/cindywangbrandt.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/06\/cindywangbrandt.com_-3-768x480.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>A good parent will always believe their child. She believes their baby when they cry for no apparent reason that they are distressed. She believes their child is scared of monsters under the bed and boogieman in the closet. She believes their teenager is doing the best they can even when they make grave mistakes. When you love someone you default to belief\u2014you listen first to their experiences before pronouncing judgment. You accept, affirm, and embrace them and it is from this position of unconditional engagement that you hear their story. When you are postured like this, you will believe. You will trust. You will love. And you will be changed.<\/p>\n<p>How desperately we need people of faith in this time. People who, before being presented with reasonable evidence, will jump to belief. People who will hold the hand of the convict and say I love you, tell me your story. People who will tenderly pick up a rape or domestic violence victim and before they speak a word will look them in the eyes and promise, \u201cI will always be on your side.\u201d People who have no experience of other cultures and religions and yet can imagine their divergent worldview, and affirm what is meaningful to the other.<\/p>\n<p>This is faith, that we face tumultuous cultural pressures but we are not afraid to step out and talk to those who bear the image of God.<\/p>\n<p>This is faith, that we believe in the faces unseen, voices unheard, and stories untold.<\/p>\n<p>This is faith, by which we shall be saved.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/eepurl.com\/Ra-HP\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-1425\" src=\"http:\/\/i0.wp.com\/cindywangbrandt.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/11\/button2.png?resize=276%2C72\" alt=\"button2\" width=\"276\" height=\"72\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/eepurl.com\/bg0nT9\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-1759\" src=\"http:\/\/i0.wp.com\/cindywangbrandt.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/05\/button.png?resize=367%2C107\" alt=\"button\" width=\"367\" height=\"107\" srcset=\"https:\/\/cindywangbrandt.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/05\/button.png 367w, https:\/\/cindywangbrandt.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/05\/button-300x87.png 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 367px) 100vw, 367px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<span class=\"et_bloom_bottom_trigger\"><\/span>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>I have come to think people of faith are the most unbelieving bunch.
