Doubting your Christian Faith? Searching for answers? Desiring to deepen and embolden your faith? Battling with doubt? Feeling disconnected? You're not alone! In this two-part episode, Greg and I examine the state of Christianity in America and some of the top reasons many face in maintaining or deepening their faith - i.e., skepticism, faith vs. reason, complexities of the world, ethical concerns, traumatic experiences, and much more. More importantly, we discuss biblical perspectives and how to overcome them.
We decided to break this one up into two parts, so stay tuned for the second part, where we cover the Power of Storytelling, the Power of Biblical Principles, and the Power of God's promises!
