All of us ask questions or experience faith-related doubts at some point in time. When we do, it’s important to surround ourselves with trusted, like-minded people who can help us process the things we’re thinking about.
At the same time, we can help those around us process their doubts and questions, too. And while there’s not a one-size-fits-all approach to talking about these questions, we can all practice curiosity, grace, and empathy as we figure it out together.
To help you and your LifeGroup navigate these conversations, we’ve created a special 4-part miniseries of the You’ve Heard It Said podcast that accompanies Pastor Craig’s book and message series The Benefit of Doubt. He also joins us for two of the episodes to share about his own experiences with doubt, what he’s learned, and how he hopes groups like yours will be able to grow together.
We want this content to serve your LifeGroup’s needs and rhythms, so we’ve created video and audio versions of every episode. We recommend you send the audio links to your group so they can listen before you meet, or watch the video together during your regular LifeGroup time.
