Can You Doubt God and Still Have Faith?

Have you ever felt like you weren’t allowed to doubt God? Like, if you were a real Christian, you’d just believe and never question?

A lot of us have been told, directly or indirectly, that faith and doubt can’t mix. That if you’re doubting, the answer is simple: just have more faith. But it’s not that simple.

If you’ve ever wrestled with doubt, you know it doesn’t just go away because someone tells you to believe harder.

The truth is, almost everyone experiences doubt at some point in their faith journey. But we don’t talk about it. And when we do, it gets brushed off with short, shallow answers.

But the Bible doesn’t ignore doubt it highlights it. Some of the greatest stories of faith are also stories of deep struggle.

In this post, I want to flip the script. What if doubt isn’t something to fear or fix… but something God can use to grow your faith?
