When Faith Feels Weak: What to Do When You Believe—but Still Struggle, Part 2

The Prayer Jesus Answers When Faith and Doubt Collide If you've ever prayed with fear, uncertainty, or half-formed faith, this episode reveals why Jesus welcomes honest doubt—and how real faith grows through it.    Sermon Description When you believe the right things about God, yet still struggle with fear, doubt, or spiritual exhaustion? In this two-part sermon from Mark 9:14–29, Pastor Josh Weidmann explores one of the most honest prayers in all of Scripture: "I believe—help my unbelief." Together, these messages address the tension many Christians live in every day—the gap between strong theology and fragile trust, between spiritual competence and real dependence on God. You'll discover why Jesus isn't threatened by doubt, how failure can become a doorway to deeper faith, and why true spiritual power flows not from confidence, experience, or technique—but from honest, prayerful dependence. This series is for anyone wrestling with weak faith, unanswered prayers, or the quiet fear that belief should feel easier by now—and for anyone longing to trust God more deeply, even when certainty feels out of reach.
