All Things Possible With Bethany Hamilton

Diving Deeper: Can I Trust the Bible? Wrestling with Faith, Doubt & Suffering | Ep. 27


Listen Later

In this Q&A episode of the Diving Deeper series, Bethany and Adam sit down with their pastor and trusted friend, Pastor William Pierce, to answer real listener questions about faith, doubt, Scripture, suffering, and walking with Jesus in today’s culture.

What does it mean to truly walk with Christ as a teenager? Do you have to believe everything in the Bible to be a Christian? What’s the purpose behind suffering, and can we still trust God when it feels like there's no light at the end of the tunnel?

From the beauty of Ephesians 2 to the hard questions about creation, sexuality, and cultural compromise, this episode tackles faith’s toughest challenges with deep compassion and unwavering biblical truth.

If you’ve ever wondered where to start in your Bible reading, how to help someone who’s hurting, or how to stay rooted in truth when the world feels shaky, this conversation is for you.
