There’s something about doubt. The second we start to wonder if our faith might be all it’s cracked up to be, we find ourselves hitting the panic button. Oh no! I must be losing my faith! But is doubt something that really has to freak us out? In this first part of a series, we explore the subject of doubt and discover how it comes, why it comes, and how doubt can be one of our closest friends on the walk to spiritual maturity. Today we specifically look at how being ridiculed for our faith, can lead us to doubt it.
