About this episode

This episode discusses the nature of doubt in faith and how to acknowledge it while focusing on God's truth and promises.

Have you ever looked at the vision for your life and quietly wondered if it will ever really happen? If so, you’re not alone—and struggling with doubt doesn’t mean you lack faith. In this episode, we’re talking honestly about doubt: where it comes from, why resisting it actually makes it stronger, and what to do instead. You’ll learn how to acknowledge doubt without letting it run the show, how to turn your focus back to truth, and how God’s promises still stand—even when your faith feels shaky. We’ll walk through powerful scriptures like Numbers 23:19, James 1:5–8, Mark 9:23–24, and Philippians 4:8 to uncover what God says about belief, trust, and possibility. And yes—there is grace for the prayer, “Lord, I believe; help my unbelief.” If you’re facing a situation that has you questioning, wavering, or second-guessing God, this episode will help you refocus on what’s true and strengthen your faith right where you are. https://DebraLButterfield.com
