ABOUT THIS EPISODE

Hey friends! Welcome to Girls’ Night!

Today on the show, we’re talking about what to do when doubt creeps into your faith.

I think we all have these moments in our faith when we find ourselves wrestling with doubt. We’re asking hard questions, maybe even asking, “Is God even real?” But nobody talks about their doubt, which means we’re all wrestling with it alone, which is SO hard.

Everything is harder when we do it by ourselves or feel like we have to keep it a secret.

But that’s why I’m so excited about this episode. Friends, if you ever struggle with doubt, you are SO not alone, and you don’t have to navigate it alone either.

I’m here to help, and so is today’s guest!

Our guest for today’s episode is Andrea Lucado. Andrea is the author of the book, English Lessons: The Crooked Path of Growing Toward Faith. Andrea has experienced her fair share of doubts in her faith walk, even after growing up in a strong Christian church and home. That’s why I knew she was the perfect person for this topic!

Andrea is going to teach us:

What to do when you experience doubts or find yourself asking big questions about your faith
What to do with the shame and guilt you sometimes feel when that doubt does creep in
How you can seek God in the midst of your doubts
And who you can go to in your life that can help you with your doubt and big questions.
