Ever notice how Doubt gets a bad press in Christianity? Always seen as a negative & dangerous, but what if doubt is not always the evil pitfall, but is sometimes the compost from which the green shoots of faith can spring? What if the danger is not that we doubt, but that we deny doubt, pretend that it does not exist & so do not handle it well what if that is the real issue & the real pitfall.
