Do you know the opposite of faith is not doubt? If you really think about it, doubt is a necessary element in order for faith to exist. So what is the opposite of faith? Author Anne Lamott said it well in her book Plan B: Further Thoughts on Faith; “The opposite of faith is not doubt, but certainty. Certainty is missing the point entirely. Faith includes noticing the mess, the emptiness and discomfort, and letting it be there until some light returns.”
Rev. Lauren Blanco unpacks a well-known interaction between Jesus and Disciple Thomas as an honest, intimate, and surprising example of faith. If you’ve ever doubted God before, you need to listen to this message: Permission to Doubt.
John 20:19-31
