Today on the podcast, we talk with Brad Bigney about helping people who struggle with doubt in their Christian walk.  Many Christians find themselves struggling to believe. Life’s hardships can often cause us to question God, His love, and His authority. Scripture has much to say about doubt and has answers for those of us who have times where we struggle to believe. We pray that this discussion will help you to counsel yourself and others when doubt creeps into the Christian life.  Episode Transcript Resources Books Doubt: Trusting God’s Promises - Elyse Fitzpatrick Lecture: Helping Those Struggling with Doubt - Brad Bigney (can call Faith Resource Center for more information 765-449-3700) Websites:  Vision of Hope Visit the Joyful Journey website to sign up for our newsletter, view a transcript, and search previous episodes.
