About this episode
Doubt in our faith journey is often a misunderstood concept. When looking at the story of Thomas in John 20, we discover that doubt isn't the enemy of faith, but rather a catalyst for deeper belief. Our doubts often reveal our true desire for God, and that he does not neglect our questions and uncertainties, but
actually welcomes them. Thomas' story encourages us to keep pursuing God and his mission even when we don't have all the answers, remembering that Jesus promised to be with us always. This perspective shift on doubt can revolutionize our approach to faith, allowing us to embrace our questions as part of our growth rather than feeling ashamed or discouraged by them. In this week's Manhattan message, Pastor Ryan Schlachter challenges us to see doubt as a tool that can strengthen our faith when we bring it to God and our community.
