gift of faith

for some faith means… certainty no doubt

the benefit of doubt

It’s OK to have… doubt in the midst of faith faith in the middle of your doubts

Faith in the Bible is not a psychological concept it is a covenantal concept

how certain you are isn’t the issue

psychological certainty is the opposite of doubt, biblical faith presupposes doubt

following the Spirit isn’t about coasting on something from 5 years ago it’s listening to the Spirit today moment by moment
