How do you handle DOUBTS about faith? (& How we're processing events in Israel)

“Is Jesus truly worth following? Is God even real? What if this Christianity stuff is all made up?”

Hey friends,

It’s been a heavy past week. We’ve all been hearing and reading about the unimaginable events happening in Israel, Palestine, Gaza - not to mention places that aren’t highlighted in the news.

The past week, we’ve been learning, leaning in, processing, praying. And for anyone else who feels unsure what to do or how to respond, that’s what we’d invite you to do, too:

  • Learn - especially the biblical context behind what’s happening.

  • Pray more than you consume (in terms of the news).

  • Monitor your heart and soul. Consume only as much as it drives you to earnestly pray.

  • Bring all of your thoughts, questions, emotions to God - and allow him to draw you closer to him through it.

Honestly, we didn’t feel ready nor called to release a podcast episode about what’s going on - at least now right now. Instead, we’re continuing to release conversations we’ve felt God put on our hearts to share, because we believe that as we equip more people to grow deeper in relationship with him - this is exactly his desire for his children right now.

For more closeness, more honesty, more intimacy, more yieldedness.

For a real, personal, trust-based relationship with him (as his sheep) - not just a religious label or external activities (as goats).

We are praying that as we share things that help empower you in authentically following God, that God will speak to you what he knows you need to hear, reveal to you what he wants you to do as you walk with him, and guide you in the role he’s assigned to you for his Kingdom purposes.

Let’s continue to pray, to learn (highly recommend this video here), to wrestle with and grow in our submission to and dependence on God - despite the uncertainties and unknowns.

And on that note, this brings us to this week’s podcast episode:

What do you do when you’re doubting your faith?

We often think of doubt as a bad thing—a hindrance to faith.

But what if doubt is actually a vital element of what real faith is?

In this episode, we share our personal journeys and testimonies of walking through doubt, despair, and seeming hopelessness3 powerful takeaways we still carry with us today.
