Do you ever struggle with doubt and unbelief? Today on 15 Minutes in the Word, Joyce shares how God's Word helps you make wise decisions and live with hope.

In this episode of the Celebrate Kids podcast, Dr. Kathy and Wayne Stender discuss the challenges parents face when trying to nurture their children's faith, especially when it seems like their efforts aren't yielding the desired results. They emphasize the importance of having meaningful conversations that go beyond faith discussions, engaging with kids on various topics that interest them. The episode features insights from Dr. Kathy, who highlights findings from George Barna's American Worldview Inventory Report. This report reveals that many adults are open to the idea of God under certain conditions, presenting both a troubling reality and a powerful opportunity for fostering faith in children. The conversation aims to equip parents with the understanding that having a trusted person in a child's life is crucial for building their faith. Tune in to explore how to guide children in their spiritual journey without overwhelming them. The insights from this podcast reference Dr. Kathy's work Start with the Heart>>

A United States Navy destroyer intercepted an Iranian-flagged cargo ship in the Strait of Hormuz, firing into its engine room after repeated warnings. Following a six-hour standoff, U.S. Marines then repelled from helicopters onto the ship taking custody of the vessel. President Donald Trump issued Tehran a stern warning, still threatening to 'take out their bridges and power plants' if ongoing peace talks fail, as Iran's new and aggressive hardline IRGC leader consolidates his military control. FOX's Jonathan Savage speaks with Retired Vice Admiral Robert Harward, Former U.S. CENTCOM Deputy Commander, who says we need to continue to apply this kind of pressure on Iran in order to leverage negotiations.

An American delegation, led by Vice President Vance, will soon leave for Pakistan to resume talks with Iran over the nearly two-month-long war. Iranian officials have been noncommittal about attending the round of talks. President Trump also sent mixed signals, predicting success even as he warned the war could drag on. It follows a tense weekend around the Strait of Hormuz. Liz Landers reports. PBS News is supported by - https://www.pbs.org/newshour/about/funders. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy

We're starting a series today on miracles. They're one of the most popular subjects in culture. We're fascinated by them. We want them to happen, and we love it when they happen to us. But what is a miracle? Do they happen in our world today? Lots of questions. Skeptics claim that miracles are impossible.Chad and Mandy Stacy saw one of them when their son, Ethan, was born with leukemia, and over a period of three weeks, he developed tumors all over his body. He couldn't eat. His heartbroken parents began to make his funeral arrangements and took him home. But one night at his lowest, he began taking nourishment, and over the next week, he improved so much that his doctors were not able to find evidence of the killer disease in his body. One doctor said it was just remarkable to witness it.One scholar has a thought that skeptics might consider: “To say that miracles are scientifically impossible is one thing, but to say that they can't happen is another thing. We might even define a miracle as an event which is scientifically impossible, but which happens anyway.” Well, there you have it. The Bible, in fact, has much to say about miracles, and because Scripture also tells us that our God does not change, we can reasonably believe He gives us miracles. We might say that the very first miracle was the creation of everything out of nothing. A marvelous world that still retains great beauty. The moon is just the right distance from Earth to allow perfect tides that clean our oceans. The sun is just the right distance so that we have heat, but not too much. Genesis 1:1 says, “In the beginning, God created the heavens and the earth.”One of the first of what we might call personal miracles is recorded in Exodus 3, the burning bush. Moses is allowed to talk with God up close as the Lord's presence was in a bush nearby that wouldn't burn up. Another use of fire we see in 1 Kings 18, when Elijah challenges the prophets of Baal to sort of a dual, each is to call on his God to answer. And Elijah says, “The true God will answer by fire.” And He does, as fire comes down from heaven and consumes the altar they've built.An especially heartfelt miracle occurs in the New Testament in John 4, when Jesus heals a nobleman's son. Jesus doesn't force Himself on anybody. But as we will see, He's in the miracle business. If you need one, tell Him that. Tell Him your friend or relative or a stranger needs a miracle. He's the God who answers by fire.Let's pray. Father God, you have proven yourself to us so many times that we don't need to doubt anything in Your Word. We believe that You grant miracles in different times and places, and no one is beyond Your miracle-giving gifts. Thank you for that. And help us to carry them in our hearts and our minds so that we can be witnesses for you. In Jesus' name, amen. Change your shirt, and you can change the world!

This episode explores how doubt and faith work together (Thomas' honest response), and the need for communities that hold questions with compassion as we move toward living unafraid. Eastertide's 50 days celebrate the resurrection as a life-changing, joy-filled reality of Jesus' presence with us which invites us to live consciously, deeply, and meaningfully as we learn to practice resurrection daily.

What if your deepest doubts aren't signs of weak faith, but actually the gym where your faith is being built? You'll discover that God isn't threatened by your questions—He welcomes them with the same kindness Jesus showed to doubting Thomas. Through the story of Thomas and personal reflections on wrestling with doubt during infertility and family struggles, you can expect to learn how doubt can become the very tool that deepens your relationship with God rather than destroys it. You'll be invited to bring your heaviest questions to a God who is big enough to handle them and faithful enough to answer them.Passages in this message:John 20:24-29Luke 22:14-20James 1:5-8Subscribe to stay updated with the latest content from The Story!TAKE YOUR NEXT STEP HERE:Thestorygr.com/connectJOIN US IN PERSON:The Story Church475 6 Mile Road NW, Comstock Park, MI 49321You can support the ministry happening at The Story at thestorygr.com/give#thestorychurch #comstockparkmi

What if Jesus' words "Why did you doubt?" weren't a rebuke but an invitation? In this message from the Benefit of Doubt series, we revisit the familiar story of Peter walking on water in Matthew 14 and discover something surprising: Jesus doesn't shame our doubt. He uses it to draw us closer to Himself. We also explore the raw, honest prayer of a desperate father in Mark 9 and what it reveals about how God meets us in our most uncertain moments. Whether you're wrestling with hard questions, carrying pain from the past, or simply wondering if God is really there, this message is an encouraging reminder that doubt is not the end of faith, but it can be the doorway to something deeper.0:00 A missions trip, a girl, and a crisis of faith1:57 Landing in Mexico with a broken heart3:22 The Benefit of Doubt series introduction4:06 Peter walks on water5:19 What if "why did you doubt?" was an invitation?6:43 Jesus reaches out7:56 When the church responds with shame instead of grace9:14 Jesus didn't humiliate Peter10:10 Doubt is often connected to pain11:28 Jesus moves toward the doubter with compassion12:23 A father's desperate prayer13:48 How we often pray15:11 Hearing Jesus' response differently15:41 "Help me overcome my unbelief"16:29 Daily time with God through doubt17:28 The relatability principle18:41 Jesus' statement vs. Peter's "if"19:59 Jesus' response to every "but what about..."20:29 The real miracle21:25 Closing prayerSupport the showMade a decision to follow Jesus?

Send us Fan Mail“From Doubt to Belief” – Pastor Todd ReynoldsIn this powerful Resurrection message from John 20:24–29, Pastor Todd Reynolds challenges the common label of “Doubting Thomas” and reframes the story as a journey from honest doubt to transformational belief.Rather than condemning Thomas, Pastor Todd highlights a deeper truth: all the disciples struggled to believe the resurrection at first. Doubt is not the enemy of faith—it's often the doorway to a stronger, more personal encounter with Jesus.Pastor Todd emphasizes that:Faith is not about blind belief, but personal experience with Christ.What ultimately convinced Thomas was not argument or logic, but an encounter with the risen Jesus—and specifically the evidence of His suffering.Jesus does not avoid doubters; He pursues them, meeting them right in their questions, fears, and uncertainty.The message connects Thomas' story to our everyday lives:We doubt when life doesn't make sense, when prayers seem unanswered, or when pain feels overwhelming.Like the father in Mark 9, many of us live in the tension of: “I believe—help my unbelief.”The turning point comes when Jesus invites Thomas to take a step forward:“Stop doubting and believe.”Pastor Todd drives home a central truth:Faith is not a system of beliefs—it's a relationship with a living Savior.Growth doesn't happen in one leap, but one step at a time toward Jesus.The sermon culminates in Thomas' declaration:“My Lord and my God!”This is more than belief—it's surrender.Key takeaway:No matter where you are—full of faith or full of questions—Jesus is still coming after you. And the path from doubt to belief always begins with one simple step: move toward Him.Shady Grove Info Click here for more https://www.shadygrove.net/events                                      FaceBook https://www.facebook.com/ShadyGroveWesleyanChurch

Part 9 in series The post The Way Beyond Doubt appeared first on Redeemer Community Church.

For decades now, we've been told the biggest questions of how life and our universe came to be were settled. But what if they're not?Stephen Meyer has spent his career digging into the deepest mysteries of our existence. A philosopher of science, he is the founder of the Discovery Institute's Center for Science and Culture and the author of the New York Times bestseller “Darwin's Doubt” and “Return of the God Hypothesis.”“Many leading evolutionary biologists today are calling for a new theory of evolution, because they recognize that the mutation-natural selection mechanism has limited creative power,” Meyer says.While Charles Darwin's theory of evolution and natural selection can explain small-scale variations—for instance, finch beak size changes, moth wing color changes, or bacteria developing antibiotic resistance—it cannot explain the origins of new species or new body plans, Meyer contends.Now, in a new film, “The Story of Everything,” coming to theaters April 30, Meyer lays out a case that could reshape how we think about life itself.“The scientific discoveries of the last one hundred years and right up to the present are pointing in a very different direction than people thought in the late 19th century,” Meyer says.Views expressed in this video are opinions of the host and the guest, and do not necessarily reflect the views of The Epoch Times.

Forty-five days ago, he told TRE he didn't know if he liked running anymore. Then he ran 37 loops. Aleksander Piotr Lingauer showed up to the 2026 BPN Go One More Ultra carrying more than a race bib. He carried a childhood spent in foster care across England and Germany, a nervous system that had been shutting down in the weeks before the start line, and a verse from Joel written on his shirt. What he left with was something harder to name—and that's what this conversation is about.This is the post-race debrief Dominic promised to deliver in person. From the moment Aleksander flew to New York on a swollen ankle just to run 8K with a guy he admired on the internet, to crewing for Kim Gottwald through storm-halted loops in Texas, to finally hearing his own name called as a competitor—every decision in this story was made on instinct, and every one of them changed his life.On the course: barefoot through the mud, keeping strangers in the race when they were about to quit, hallucinating a dragon somewhere in the second night, and fighting his way through doubt that even Mark Dowdle admitted he'd felt. Aleksander's answer to all of it was simple: if you fail to try, doubt wins.He left the loop an honest man. Tap into the Aleksander Lingauer Special.If you enjoy the podcast, please consider following us on Spotify and Apple Podcasts and giving us a five-star review!

"Doubt the Wizard. Trust the Savior." Rev. Dr. Joe Evans, Senior Pastor 11:00am Sermon | Great Hall

https://wels2.blob.core.windows.net/daily-devotions/20260415dev.mp3 Listen to Devotion Now Thomas (also known as Didymus), one of the Twelve, was not with the disciples when Jesus came. So the other disciples told him, “We have seen the Lord!” But he said to them, “Unless I see the nail marks in his hands and put my finger where the nails were, and put my hand into his side, I will not believe.” John 20:24–25 When Doubt Demands Proof Thomas was not there. We are not told why. But in his absence, he missed out on the peace the risen Jesus brought to his disciples with his appearance. When the others told him, “We have seen the Lord,” Thomas refused to believe without tangible proof. “Unless I see… unless I touch… I will not believe.” We often judge Thomas rather harshly. Yet his demand is deeply human. Disappointment makes us guarded. Grief makes us cautious. We hesitate to trust again. Thomas was not asking for some mystical feeling; he wanted reality. But notice this: even in his doubt, Thomas remained among the disciples. He did not abandon the fellowship entirely. And that matters. There will be seasons when you struggle. You may wrestle with suffering, prayers that seem unanswered, or intellectual questions. Doubt does not shock Jesus. He knows the wounds that cause it. Yet the answer to doubt is not isolation. When doubt or grief casts a long shadow over your soul, the worst thing you can do is to go off alone with your gloomy thoughts. The best thing you can do is to go where believers in Jesus gather around the promises of God and encourage one another with those promises. Go and be where Jesus meets with us— “Where two or three are gathered in my name, there am I with them” (Matthew 18:20). Go and be where his sweet “Peace be with you,” is spoken, where praying with others and for others and singing praise to God with many voices can lift you up and outside of yourself. The answer to doubt is not isolation. Thomas stayed close enough to hear again. And Jesus did not scold him from a distance. He came near. He lives not to shame doubters, but to give them proof and peace. The risen Jesus is patient with you, too. Even when your grip weakens, his hold remains firm. Prayer: Lord, when I struggle with doubt, keep me near your Word and your people. Strengthen my faith with the certainty of your resurrection. Amen. Daily Devotions is brought to you by WELS.

There are common and erroneous assumptions about what happens when one turns to Christ: a) Life immediately gets happier. b) Life gets easier. c) All of one's questions and doubts are erased. In this honest conversation Mark and I talk through different angles about what faith and doubt each are. Why do new (or even seasoned) believers get sidelined and De-convert? Why is it problematic to put all your hopes and dreams in a church, pastor, or spouse? What happened to Mark's mother when she turned to Christ? How did that re-direct her focus and energy? There are many assumptions made about both faith and doubt, so we want to be open and honest together on these lines. Oh, and, how is it that doubt can actually be a good thing? Come think and laugh with us!

There are several reasons why I became Catholic. And even more reasons why becoming Catholic was the best decision I made for myself and my family. I was NEVER going to become Catholic One of the biggest fights my husband and I ever had was over faith when we were dating. It almost ended our relationship. I was intrigued by becoming Catholic During college, several of my friends were Catholic. The Newman Center for the hospital complex and for college students at Washington University was across the street. There was not a Lutheran church within walking distance, and I didn't want to go alone. I also wanted to sleep in on Sunday morning or work. So, I went to the Saturday evening Catholic mass with my friends. Faith that floundered Throughout college, my faith was hot and cold. Then I met my husband. The biggest fight The lack of what we needed When my husband was asked to move to the East Coast for his job, we had to start the church search all over again. It was years of searching. Then, football saved the day. Then, a God wink. About a week into playing for the CYO team, we were told that our son had to be in CCD to play. This was a new rule. Several of the kids in the league had to join CCD or leave the league. I am a challenger by nature. If you are on my email list, you already know that part of my identity is being a challenger. And I set out to challenge the deacon teaching the RCIA classes. What I learned about becoming Catholic Why I became Catholic By becoming Catholic, I grew closer to Jesus. A relationship that I had not previously developed. My trust grew. I discovered the Holy Spirit and developed a new understanding of grace and mercy. The eucharist became a lifeline of forgiveness, for myself and for me to be able to forgive others. I healed from past traumas and grew in my ability to share my faith with others. Even after 15 years in the Catholic church, I feel like a young Catholic. There is more I could say about why I became Catholic, but the reality is that it has been a life-changing journey, a healing journey, and an opportunity for our family to grow together in our faith and become stronger because of it. No judgement I hope that this has clarified a few items about the Catholic faith. If you want to learn more, please share your questions with me. If I don't have the answers, I will get them for you. I can also recommend an incredible resource, Lisa Brenninkmeyer, founder of Walking with Purpose and a fellow convert, and Jeff Cavins, a convert and Catholic educator and evangelist. It is important for me to emphasize that I believe Jesus Christ is my Lord and Savior, that the Bible is the inerrant word of God, and that it does not change with time or science. In fact, I believe that science is just now catching up with Scripture, and that when we lean into Scripture, our lives are changed and God opens doors we could never have imagined. It's when we lean into Scripture and have a relationship with the triune God that we heal from past wounds and traumas and can break through anxiety-driven behaviors and live in the purpose God has for us. His redemption is how we are delivered from perfectionism, the need to control, fear, and people-pleasing. What a blessing! Read the full show notes and access all links.

In this episode, we talk with tax litigator Brandon Siegel about why Microsoft Copilot has gone from a disappointing experiment to a genuinely useful AI tool for legal work. We unpack what changed with Microsoft's latest updates, including direct Word editing, deeper research capabilities, and new ways to connect AI with the documents and systems lawyers already use every day. You'll also hear Brandon explain his "braiding" approach—combining multiple AI tools so they strengthen each other's output—and why he believes Google Gemini remains one of the most overlooked options for lawyers. Whether you are testing Copilot, comparing AI platforms, or building a smarter workflow, this conversation offers practical ideas for getting more value from the tools available right now.

As you get close to retirement, something unexpected starts to happen. The math looks good. The plan works. And yet, you hesitate. In this episode, James Conole explores the quiet mental traps that show up right before one of the biggest transitions of your life. The numbers are no longer the problem. Your mindset is. Doubt creeps in. One more year starts to sound reasonable. The feeling of “not enough” never quite goes away, no matter how much you've saved.What makes this so difficult is that the justifications feel logical. Work one more year and the portfolio grows. Wait a little longer and things might feel more certain. But underneath that logic is something deeper. A hesitation to step into the unknown. A reluctance to let go of the identity and structure that work has provided for decades.The reality is that certainty is never coming. There will always be another headline, another election, another reason to wait. And the number that finally feels like enough often moves just as quickly as you approach it.This conversation is a reminder that retirement is not just a financial decision. It is a human one. The discomfort you feel is not a signal that you are not ready. It is often a sign that you are standing right at the edge of a meaningful change.A good plan does not eliminate uncertainty. It gives you a way to move forward in spite of it._ _ Advisory services are offered through Root Financial Partners, LLC, an SEC-registered investment adviser.
