Caught in the Doubt | While I Breathe, I Hope | CJ Ward

What do you do when faith doesn't feel certain anymore? In this message, we look at the story of Doubting Thomas (John 20:24-29) and ask what Jesus actually does when we bring Him our hardest questions — rebuke, or welcome?
Using an extended rock-climbing illustration, this message shows how doubt works like a cycle — the more we fear falling, the more likely we are to fall — and how both intellectual doubt (hard questions about Scripture and suffering) and emotional doubt (feeling like God answers everyone's prayers but yours) can multiply in silence and shame. But Jesus doesn't ask us to hide our doubt. He moves toward us in it.
