Listen Later

Is it possible that your doubt isn’t a detour—but an invitation?

In this deeply honest episode, Kristen Hallinan sits down with Nikki Hardy to explore the powerful intersection of faith and questioning. Drawing from her book *Can We Chat?*, Nikki shares how her battles with loss, cancer, and leadership in crisis opened the door to a more authentic, resilient relationship with God. They unpack how doubt and faith can coexist, and introduce the CHAT conversation guide—an approachable, practical tool for turning uncertainty into meaningful dialogue with God.

If you’ve ever felt hesitant to bring your hard questions to Him, this episode will remind you: God is not afraid of your doubt—He welcomes it.
