What Doubt Taught Me About God | June 29, 2025

Today, we explored the reality of doubt in the life of faith, drawing from the story of Habakkuk—a prophet who dared to bring his deepest questions and frustrations directly to God. Habakkuk lived through a time of spiritual revival under King Josiah, only to see everything unravel under the wicked reign of Jehoiakim. Surrounded by political chaos and spiritual decline, Habakkuk's heart was broken as he watched his people turn from God and face the threat of destruction from brutal foreign powers. In his confusion and pain, he did not turn away from God, but instead turned toward Him, voicing his honest doubts and asking, “Why?”God's response to Habakkuk was not what he expected. Instead of promising immediate rescue or revival, God revealed that He was already at work in ways Habakkuk could not understand—even using the Babylonians, a ruthless nation, as part of His plan. This answer only deepened Habakkuk's confusion, showing us that sometimes, even when God answers, it doesn't resolve all our questions. The story invites us to wrestle honestly with our doubts, recognizing that doubt is not the enemy of faith, but can be a catalyst for deeper trust and a more personal relationship with God.We also reflected on the story of Thomas, the disciple who doubted, and how his journey led him to a faith that was truly his own. Doubt, rather than being a sign of spiritual weakness, can be the soil in which authentic faith grows. The key is not to run from our questions, but to bring them to Jesus, who meets us with patience and love.Ultimately, what we need most in seasons of doubt is not answers, but God's presence. Answers may not heal our pain or restore what we've lost, but the assurance that God is with us—steadfast, loving, and unafraid of our questions—gives us the courage to hold on. Faith is not about having everything figured out; it's about trusting the One who holds us, even when nothing makes sense. In the space between our questions and God's answers, we find that His presence is enough.Chapters[00:00] - Welcome[01:00] - Introduction: Life-Changing Encounters[03:55] - Wrestling with Doubt and Asking “Why?”[06:00] - Context: The World of Habakkuk[07:43] - Josiah's Revival and Judah's Decline[09:09] - The Spiritual and Political Crisis[12:17] - Habakkuk's Honest Questions[13:56] - Personal Story: A Father's Pain and Doubt[16:33] - God's Surprising Answer[18:31] - God at Work in Unexpected Ways[20:13] - The Babylonians: God's Unimaginable Plan[22:27] - Habakkuk's Confusion and Struggle[24:14] - Doubt as a Pathway to Deeper Faith[27:04] - Thomas: From Doubt to Devotion[30:51] - Faith in the Midst of Unanswered Questions[32:52] - The Limits of Answers and the Need for God[35:53] - Holding On When Life Doesn't Make Sense[38:22] - Waiting and Watching in the Silence[39:12] - Presence Over Answers[40:44] - Spoken Word: “A Shadow of a Doubt”[46:46] - God's Love in Our Doubt and Closing PrayerWelcome, EVC!

After three major U-turns in just days — on winter fuel payments, the Muslim grooming gangs public inquiry, and now a welfare cuts retreat — the question is: What does Starmer actually believe in? And now, he's disowning his own immigration speech where he referred to Britain as an “Island of Strangers” — claiming he didn't realise it echoed Enoch Powell. The irony? That speech struck a chord with many ordinary Brits.  Meanwhile, 50,000 illegal migrants are still living in hotels, funded by taxpayers. The public isn't asking for “1 in 1 out.” We're demanding:

Chris Cuomo breaks down why the protests in Los Angeles are a manufactured crisis that serves President Trump's political agenda while distracting from real issues like the economy and interest rates. He argues that Trump's federalization of the National Guard is unnecessary theatrics designed to make him look strong, while the left's protests—contaminated by pro-Palestinian flags and property destruction—hand Trump an optical victory. Cuomo warns that both sides are playing dangerous games with selective outrage, comparing protesters to insurrectionists when it suits them and ignoring their own hypocrisy. He sees America's political divisions manifesting physically in the streets, creating conditions that could lead to catastrophic consequences. Plus, Dr. Kirk Elliott (Owner and Founder, Kirk Elliott Precious Metals) discusses how to protect wealth during uncertain times through tangible assets like gold and silver rather than hackable digital currencies.

Liberal democracy in America has always contained contradictions—most notably, a noble but abstract commitment to freedom, justice, and equality that, tragically, has seldom been realized in practice. While these contradictions have caused dissent and even violence, there was always an underlying and evolving solidarity drawn from the cultural resources of America's “hybrid Enlightenment.” James Davison Hunter, who introduced the concept of “culture wars” thirty years ago, tells us in Democracy and Solidarity: On the Cultural Roots of America's Political Crisis (Yale UP, 2024) that those historic sources of national solidarity have now largely dissolved. While a deepening political polarization is the most obvious sign of this, the true problem is not polarization per se but the absence of cultural resources to work through what divides us. The destructive logic that has filled the void only makes bridging our differences more challenging. In the end, all political regimes require some level of unity. If it cannot be generated organically, it will be imposed by force. Can America's political crisis be fixed? Can an Enlightenment-era institution—liberal democracy—survive and thrive in a post-Enlightenment world? If, for some, salvaging the older sources of national solidarity is neither possible sociologically, nor desirable politically or ethically, what cultural resources will support liberal democracy in the future?

In this video, Gaunty dives into the explosive topic: Starmer must sack Rachel Reeves after her disastrous performance in the Spring Statement. As Chancellor of the Exchequer, Rachel Reeves has faced heavy criticism not just for her failure to deliver a solid budget, but for her involvement in multiple scandals that have eroded public trust. With the UK economy in dire straits and the public losing confidence, Keir Starmer is under increasing pressure to take action. This is a critical moment for Labour Party leadership, and Starmer must act swiftly to protect his own position and credibility. In this analysis, we examine the fallout from Reeves' failed budget and how her actions are harming the Labour Party's image. From her economic missteps to her role in freebie scandals, it's clear that Reeves' time as Chancellor may be running out. If Starmer is to have any hope of leading the UK out of economic turmoil, he must act decisively. Join us as we discuss the future of UK politics, free speech, and the growing calls for change within the Labour Party. UK politics debate, Keir Starmer, Rachel Reeves, Labour Party crisis, UK economy, and budget failure are all key issues we cover in this video.

D-day is rapidly approaching for South Korean President Yoon Suk-yeol, with the Constitutional Court expected to rule on whether to uphold his impeachment in the next week. Whatever the court decides, it will have profound implications for not just domestic politics but also North Korea policy and peninsula security. To better understand what's on the horizon, NK Pro recently hosted a discussion with two experts on the Koreas: Andrei Lankov, a leading authority on North Korean studies, and Jumin Lee, a U.S.-based attorney and contributing analyst at Korea Pro. The experts explore a wide range of possible scenarios, from what a Lee Jae-myung presidency would look like to how North Korea would respond to the political chaos that would unfold if Yoon returns to power. Andrei Lankov is a director at NK News and writes for the site as one of the world's leading authorities on North Korea. He is also a professor at Kookmin University. Jumin Lee is a native South Korean and a U.S. trial lawyer practicing at Los Angeles-based law firm Bird Marella. He is a contributing analyst at Korea Pro, where he provides analysis on legal and political issues, and his commentary has also been featured in domestic and international outlets. He is the author of “Why Anti-Discrimination Law?,” a book that examines proposals for comprehensive anti-discrimination legislation in South Korea. This podcast was originally recorded at a Korea Risk Group event in Seoul on March 5, 2025. Jeongmin Kim, editorial director at Korea Pro and correspondent at NK News, moderated the discussion.

What should we expect from the upcoming elections, and how is the ripple effect of U.S. politics influencing the Canadian landscape? And, how much of an impact are Trump's tariff threats and jokes about Canada becoming a 51st US state impacting things?  For this special edition, we're joined by Amanda Alvaro and Rachael Segal, hosts of the Canadian women's podcast Beyond a Ballot, to unpack the chaos.

We are getting a government shutdown for Christmas! Or Hanukkah! Here's what happened and what might come next. On Thursday night, a vote on a continuing resolution was taken, which some viewed as 1) a stunning rebuke to Donald Trump 2) raising fears of a shutdown.The first claim is almost certainly incorrect, and the second is possibly wrong. Last minute gift idea! Get yourself a subscription.The root of the conflict lies in the Republican House conference's inability to unite behind ANY Continuing Resolution to fund the government. There are a handful of Reps that simply don't vote for them. Ever. For anyone. This is not a problem for the Democrats who do not have fiscal hawks in their ranks. It's just a part of the game. But Speaker Mike Johnson needs to pass a CR. So he has no choice but to negotiate with Democrats. But they know that he knows that they know he needed their support. Sensing leverage, Democrats demanded extensive concessions, transforming a slim resolution into a sprawling 1,500-page bill resembling an omnibus. Republican leaders, frustrated by being excluded from these negotiations, learned details of the bill from lobbyists who had inside knowledge.The situation intensified when media narratives blamed Trump and Elon Musk for killing the bill. In reality, internal GOP dissension doomed the Quasibus CR as soon as the text hit the internet. It would have died when it went to a vote.Did Trump and Musk accelerate its collapse and prevent a vote? Sure. But it woke up dead. It was never happening.Trump's Truth Social missives did set a new course, advocating for a clean continuing resolution with disaster relief and other GOP priorities while proposing a two-year suspension of the debt ceiling—a strategic move to avoid draining political capital on recurring debt ceiling battles. Specifically the Trump tax cuts which are a top priority in 2025.House conservatives, especially fiscal hawks like Ralph Norman, Chip Roy, and Thomas Massie oppose eliminating the debt ceiling (a key Republican cudgel when Dems run things) unless there are other massive spending cuts to go along with them. Their resistance in the Rules Committee prevented the bill from advancing traditionally, forcing a long-shot vote requiring a two-thirds majority on Thursday night, which was never realistic. GOP leadership permitted the vote anyway to gauge opposition and explore potential concessions.To put simpler, the bill that failed last night was always meant to fail. The question was by how much and who would vote no. One GOP House staffer expressed to me that more rock ribbed conservatives that talk a big game about government spending voted to suspend the debt ceiling than he would have guessed.Looking ahead, the bill will likely shrink more, possibly making the debt ceiling provision more palatable. If Johnson can flip one of the three hardliners on the Rules Committee, a party-line vote might succeed. Alternatively, a few Democrats might cross over, given the approaching holidays and the general desire to avoid a government shutdown.However, if the government does shut down, the practical impact could be limited since most federal employees would still receive holiday paychecks. Political fallout, however, would be inevitable, with intensified pressure to strike a deal after the new year.Despite the chaos, some GOP insiders view the vote as more promising than expected. Though 33 Republicans voted against the resolution, party leaders seem cautiously optimistic. If Trump and key Senate allies like J.D. Vance begin actively whipping votes, a slimmed-down resolution could pass. The next steps remain uncertain, hinging on whether enough conservatives can be persuaded to compromise in the days ahead.Or we shut down and reload for the new year as Trump 2 begins as Trump 1 ended: messy.Chapters & Timecodes* [00:00:00] Introduction and Upcoming Topics* [00:01:59] U.S. Government Shutdown and Congressional Infighting* [00:12:02] Trudeau's Political Crisis in Canada* [00:49:19] Musa Al-Gharbi on U.S. Electoral Trends This is a public episode.
