Episode Summary

Doubt is something many people experience, yet few feel comfortable talking about openly. In this episode, Pastors Jon and Andrea have an honest conversation about navigating questions of faith, seasons of uncertainty, and what it means to wrestle with God rather than walk away from Him. Together, they explore the difference between doubt that leads to deeper faith and doubt that disconnects us, offering encouragement for anyone who feels stuck, unsure, or searching. This episode is a reminder that God is not afraid of our questions and that faith can grow even in the middle of wrestling.
