FAITH-O-METER: Doubt

Amy conducted a live session discussing doubt as part of her faith-ometer series about measures of faith. She explored biblical examples of doubt, including the apostles' reactions to the resurrection in Luke 24 and the story of the Road to Emmaus, emphasizing that even dedicated followers like the apostles experienced doubt. Amy discussed how doubt often arises from putting confidence in temporary, physical things rather than in God's eternal nature, citing research showing the top reasons people doubt God are religious hypocrisy, church hurt, and human suffering. She explained that doubt doesn't indicate a lack of salvation and provided practical advice for dealing with doubt, including remembering one's first love for God, repenting of doubts, and returning to a relationship with God. The session concluded with a prayer and a reminder that believers are not alone in their struggles with doubt.
