What do you do when you believe in God, but you're no longer sure He's good? What happens when suffering, doubt, and unanswered questions make it difficult to reconcile the God you believe in with the reality you're experiencing?
In Episode 3 of The Shift, Brittney Brown sits down with Brandon McGuire, founder and host of Daily Dose of Wisdom, for an honest conversation about doubt, suffering, spiritual warfare, apologetics, and what it means to pursue truth when faith gets complicated.
They also talk about:
• Why people deconstruct their faith
• Is God really good when we suffer?
• How should Christians respond to doubt?
• Can Christianity withstand difficult questions?
• The reality of spiritual warfare
• Angels, demons, and the unseen spiritual realm
• Why Christians shouldn't be afraid of skepticism or other worldviews
• How apologetics can help us pursue truth
• Why faith isn't supposed to be about comfort and ease
• What it means to live in light of eternity
• How God can meet us in the middle of suffering and doubt
At the heart of this conversation is a simple invitation: don't be afraid of the questions. Pursue truth.
