What if the cracking of your faith isnât a failureâbut an invitation?
Many of us were given a version of faith that worked right up until life applied pressure. Built on certainty, rules, and platitudes, it held together for a while. But grief, doubt, disappointment, and silence from God have a way of exposing how brittle that kind of faith really is.
In this episode of The Pastor Next Door, we explore the difference between brittle faith and enduring faithâand why the breaking apart of faith may actually be the beginning of something deeper and more honest.
In this episode, we explore:
Why faith rooted in agreement collapses under real lifeHow control masquerades as spiritualityâand why relationship matters moreWhy doubt and lament are not threats to faith, but signs of itWhat it means to trust God without certaintyHow Scripture (especially the Psalms) gives us permission to speak honestlyWhy faith is not something we perform for God, but practice with GodDrawing from Scripture, personal story, and the words of a desperate father who prayed, âI believe; help my unbelief,â this episode makes space for wrestling, grief, and unfinished faithâwithout shame.
If your faith feels fragile right now, youâre not behind.
You might actually be paying attention.
This episode also sets the stage for whatâs coming next on the podcast:
No pressure to arrive.
Just an honest, grace-filled space to keep going.
Grace and peace, friends.
