We often doubt ourselves and our abilities. Many of us have felt insecure, inadequate, or maybe even unqualified to be used by God. But the truth is, God is not looking for the most impressive. He’s not looking for the most substantial résumé. He’s looking for the willing, the broken, and the faithful. He specializes in empowering people who feel unworthy to achieve unbelievable things.

One of the most common criticisms of the church is the presence of hypocrisy among Christians. If we’re honest, we’ve all been hypocrites at some point. We say we believe in grace but withhold it from others. We teach purity but indulge in compromise. We say, “Jesus is enough,” but chase worldly validation. We need to stop pointing fingers at others and ask: Where am I wearing a mask?

There are many reasons why people begin to doubt or even deconstruct their faith. Unanswered questions. Pain and suffering. Hypocrisy and wounds. These can clutter our view of Jesus and even cause some to walk away. But doubt is not the opposite of faith; it is a stop on the journey of faith. If you’re doubting, you’re not disqualified. Jesus isn’t walking away from you. He’s walking toward you.

Every believer—whether brand new to faith or has followed Jesus for decades—has experienced

doubt at some point. Let’s be honest: sometimes it’s hard to believe. Life throws things at us—

suffering, injustice, unanswered prayers—and it shakes us. And then we wonder: Where is God? Is

He listening? Is He even real? If you’re wrestling with doubt, hear this: your doubt doesn’t disqualify

your faith. We need to bring our doubts to Jesus, who welcomes them with open arms.

Family conflict often flows outward from inner brokenness. To restore peace in the family, we must follow God’s path of righteousness, repentance, and forgiveness—beginning with ourselves and extending through our marriages and family relationships. There are three circles of conflict that we need to address: inner conflict, marriage conflict, and family conflict. Solving these conflicts isn’t just about peace in the home—it’s about reflecting the gospel.

If Christ is Lord of our lives, He must be Lord of our schedules. If it’s not in your calendar, it’s not sacred—because what you schedule reflects what you value. Families must intentionally prioritize spiritual practices, relationships, and rest to live out their faith in practical, covenantal ways. When families prioritize God in their time, they experience peace, unity, and a sense of purpose.
