753 Questions of Faith (Questions Jesus Asked, Part 4)

About this episode

Episode 753 explores Jesus' questions of faith and their implications for trust and fear.

Wednesday, April 22nd: Episode 753 continues the Questions Jesus Asked series by focusing on Jesus’ questions of faith, especially “Why are you afraid?” and “Why did you doubt?” Drawing from the storm at sea, Peter walking on the water, and Jesus’ question to the blind men, “Do you believe that I am able to do this?” the episode explores how Jesus uses questions to reveal what people are really trusting in. It also includes the helpful idea of reading the New Testament with the word trust in place of faith , showing how personal and relational biblical faith really is. Rather than shaming weakness, Jesus’ questions expose fear so that trust can grow. At the center of the episode is the reminder that the issue is not whether storms are real, but whether they become bigger to us than Jesus. Email me your questions, comments, and suggestions.
