Mid-Week Inspiration: Wednesday, October 9, 2024
We have an entire generation resistant to the church because they were told that we don’t ask those sorts of questions at church. We are simply to believe. We have convinced young adults that the church is not big enough to handle their tough questions. And if the church is not big enough, then maybe God can’t handle the questions either.
Doubt is not destructive to faith. Unexpressed doubt becomes destructive to faith.
What if we started thinking of faith not as a noun but as a verb? What if faith was not something we possess but something we walk into? What if faith was seen as a journey of trust and not a certainty of belief?
What if we viewed doubt as God saying, “I am making way for spiritual growth?” And we created an environment where God could plant seeds of faith in the fertile ground of doubt?
Spiritual growth happens when we are as comfortable with mystery as we are with the certainty of beliefs.
Pastor Jamey
Call to Action: In what areas of your spiritual journey have you experienced doubt, and how can you view those moments as opportunities for growth rather than obstacles to your faith?
