Doubt remains a source of deep conflict in the lives of many Christians. Fortunately, Scripture is far from silent on the issue. Starting with John the Baptist’s moment of doubt, we’ll explore Jesus’s response to a very human anxiety regarding his Lordship. Episode 1 looks at John the Baptist. Episode 2 examines the apostle Peter’s decidedly mixed track record, and Christ’s gracious response. The final episode applies Christ’s challenge directly to you and me.

Doubt in the Life of the Christian, Part 1

Hosted by RZIM apologist Cameron McAllister, Vital Signs is an exploration of the major cultural ideas, issues, and works of art that are shaping current conversations. It's not just a place to learn how to be culturally informed; it's a place to learn what's worth celebrating in contemporary life. If guarding what you pay attention to is a way of guarding the integrity of your thought, then Vital Signs aims to show you what's worth your attention, as well as what's worth talking about.
