Episode notes
Doubt Is A Middle Ground
- Doubt is not the opposite of faith; unbelief is the opposite of faith.
- Doubt sits in a middle, murky space that can either deepen faith or lead to unbelief.
Healthy Versus Harmful Deconstruction
- Deconstruction can be healthy when it removes rotten walls and rebuilds with Jesus at the center.
- Unhealthy deconstruction tears down without reconstruction and leaves people without a worldview.
Psalms Show A Redemptive Cycle
- The Psalms model a three-stage process: orientation, disorientation, and reorientation.
- Disorientation (doubt) can fuel a new, deeper orientation of faith when processed rightly.
