For too long, there’s been this unspoken rule that you have to choose: Your mind or your faith. We’ve all seen it. There’s this pressure to "deposit your brain in the narthex" before you walk into worship, or to stop asking hard questions the moment you open your Bible. But when we look at the Christmas story - specifically the Wise Men - we see something totally different. These guys didn't find the Messiah by abandoning their science; they found Him because of it. Their intellectual pursuit of the stars led them straight to the feet of Jesus. If you’ve ever felt like your intellect was a barrier to your faith, or if you’re tired of the "ignorance vs. arrogance" battle between science and religion, Maxie Dunnam wrote something for you. You don’t have to leave your brain at the door to find God. In fact, you might need it now more than ever.
