About this episode
This episode explores the relationship between faith and doubt through the story of Thomas and encourages listeners to depend on God's promises.
In the life of faith we can feel dauntless as we follow Jesus only be followed by moments of doubt, but it's in moments of doubt we are invited to depend on the promises of God we have in the resurrected Jesus. Scripture Reading: John 20:24-29 Digging Deeper Questions: Why do you think Thomas was so resistant to the testimony about the resurrection from his fellow apostles? Pastor Gabe told the story of his friend Kyle who walked away from the faith and how that unsettled his own faith. Have you ever had an experience like that? Something that caused you to doubt? Pastor Gabe gave 5 steps to walk through in the midst of doubt. Which step is most helpful for you? Least? Why? In the midst of doubt, we were encouraged us to cling to the promises of God. Admittedly, this feels circular, "I doubt God's promises, so I should cling to his promises? How does that work?" Well, how does that work?
