An unspoken message many of us picked up along the Christian pathway was that doubt was the enemy of faith. That questioning what we’d been taught would prevent us from experiencing all God had for us and would prove we’d never really committed our lives completely to Christ.

Disciples and Christ-followers, it turns out, aren’t people who never doubt. They doubt and they worship. They doubt and serve. They doubt and help one another with their doubts. Which is a good thing!

The benefit of the doubt, you might say!

This Sunday, let’s look at the lives of so-called Doubting Thomas, his fellow disciples, John the Baptist and others whose faith was anything but doubtless, and discover the ways an examined faith is a healthy, evolving faith!

See you soon,
