    Is It Ok To Doubt? Series

    Contributed by Roberta Karchner on Apr 19, 2024
     | 1,067 views

    For the doubters and skeptics, this is where you belong, right there with Thomas. Jesus didn't criticize his doubting, he invited him to actually touch him. You don't have to believe to come, this is a place where we can ask our questions. This is a place where we find Jesus to be real.

But the truth is, even those of us who call ourselves believers doubt at times. ...read more
