Doubting God - Part 1: Dealing With Your Doubt
It can be really scary and lonely in Christian circles when you start to doubt.
But it is common. The disciples did it. We do it.
Why Do You Doubt?
Questions you can’t
Situations that seem
Hurts you can’t
Your doubts don’t have to take you away from God.
Your doubts can actually draw you to God.
Your faith is a journey, not a destination. You don’t ever arrive.
The strongest faith isn't a faith that never doubts.
The strongest faith is a faith that grows your doubts.
“One of the twelve disciples, Thomas (nicknamed the Twin), was not with the others when Jesus came. 25 They told him, “We have seen the Lord!” “I won’t believe it unless I see the nail wounds in his hands, put my fingers into them, and place my hand into the wound in his side.” 26Eight days later the disciples were together again, and this time Thomas was with them…” - John 20:24-26

How Did Jesus Respond to a Doubter?
He to him and him exactly what he needed.
God is not in your doubts.

Doubts can your faith, making it stronger.
There’s nothing wrong with asking questions. Questions make you human.
"Doubt is not always a sign that a man is wrong.
It may be a sign that he's thinking."
- Oswald Chambers
Faith is not the absence of doubt. Faith is the means to push through doubt.
In your doubts—keep showing up, keep walking, keep coming to Jesus!
