Episode notes
The Misnamed "Doubting Thomas"
- Thomas was wrongly nicknamed 'Doubting Thomas' despite being a believer.
- He simply needed more evidence than others, similar to the 'show me state' Missouri.
Belief Is Inherent to Being Human
- To be human is to be a believer, just like breathing is natural and continuous.
- Everyone believes something constantly; the real question is what we choose to believe.
Engage Doubts to Strengthen Faith
- Wrestle with your doubts and ask your questions instead of burying them.
- Ignoring doubts keeps you at spiritual immaturity and weakens faith.
