Faith That Feels Real: Part 1 - Lies We Believe About FaithSample

Faith That Makes Room for Doubt
Somewhere along the way, many of us learned to hide our doubts—afraid they’d make us look less faithful. But as Blake and Jamie remind us, honest doubt isn’t disloyalty. It’s a cry for deeper connection.
King David asked God, “How long will you forget me?” (Psalm 13), and was still called a man after God’s heart. The truth is, pretending kills intimacy—while bringing our doubts into the light opens the door to real relationship with God and others.
Your questions don’t disqualify you. They might just be the starting place for a faith that feels real.
Reflect & Apply:
- What’s one doubt you’ve been afraid to name—either to God or to someone else?
- Who is one safe person you could share that doubt with this week?
- How might bringing your questions into the light actually strengthen your connection with God?
