In this episode, we dive into the raw, real moments when doubt creeps into our hearts and minds. We often think faith means never questioning, but God shows us that even the smallest faith—a mustard seed’s worth—is powerful. Join me as I explore the story of Thomas, the disciple who doubted.
When Jesus returned after His resurrection, He didn’t turn away from Thomas’s doubts. Instead, He went straight to him, meeting Thomas right in the middle of his uncertainty.
This episode is an encouraging reminder that it’s OK to ask “why” and to bring our doubts to God. God welcomes our honest hearts, and our questions can be the bridge to a deeper, more resilient faith.
