E194: Day 14 When God Honors Your Honest Doubt | The Activated Disciple

Day 14: When God Honors Your Honest Doubt — Why Jesus Came Back Just for Thomas | The Activated DiscipleWhat if your doubt is not the obstacle to your faith — but the doorway to it? On Day 14 of The Activated Disciple, we walk into a locked upper room eight days after the resurrection, where ten terrified disciples are huddled together — and one disciple is missing. His name was Thomas. And when the others tell him "We have seen the Lord," he refuses to fake belief. He needs evidence. He needs to see the wounds. He needs to touch the scars. And then — astonishingly — Jesus comes back. Not to scold him. Not to shame him. But to meet his exact request, line by line. This Christian daily devotional podcast episode is for every believer who has been embarrassed by their questions about God. Every Christian who has felt like a second-class disciple because their faith is not as effortless as everyone else's seems to be. Every honest soul who has carried doubt in silence because they were afraid the church would not let them carry it out loud. We will uncover the Greek phrase ho Kyrios mou kai ho Theos mou (ὁ Κύριός μου καὶ ὁ Θεός μου) — "my Lord and my God" — the most theologically loaded confession in the entire Gospel of John, and discover why it came from the lips of the very disciple labeled "the doubter." If you have been wrestling with hard questions about faith, struggling to believe what others seem to believe so easily, or wondering if your doubt has disqualified you — this episode will reframe everything.Scripture: John 20:24–29 Ancient Word: ho Kyrios mou kai ho Theos mou (ὁ Κύριός μου καὶ ὁ Θεός μου) — "my Lord and my God" https://holyshiftmedia.comdoubting Thomas meaning, is doubt a sin, when Christians have doubts, Thomas in the Bible, my Lord and my God, faith and doubt together, Jesus and doubting disciples, honest questions about God, intellectual doubt Christianity, why does Jesus allow doubt, hard questions about faith, evidence for faith, Christian daily devotional podcast, Holy Shift Devotionals, Desiree Day podcast, Activated Disciple series
