A Faith Worthy Of Our Longings

Doubt. We all have it, but we don’t always know what to do with it. The Bible heroes of faith often express doubt, frustration, and ask hard questions of God. Church is intended to be a place for people who practice a thinking faith, a faith seeking understanding. Church ought to be a place where disagreement and doubt does not destroy but leads to discernment. Christ welcomes doubters. Praise God!

“Proof” is the wrong word. We don’t “prove” there is beauty in the artwork or that our spouse is in love with us. But we know it—and it is true and very real.
Is it reasonable to believe in God and in the Christian story? In this lesson, we look at clues in nature, in people, and in the story itself that has given rise to faith all over the world. Part 3 of 4.

Questions and doubts are not opposite faith…they are part of a life of faith. But questions and doubts can either drive us to or drive us away from exploring the Christian story. In this first lesson, I share why I believe in “a faith worthy of our questions.” First in a 4-part series titled “A Worthy Faith.”
