Stewarding Life Part 13: Stewards of DOUBT

Bible text: John 20:24-30

Thomas is often described as the doubting disciple. But is his doubt a sign of his lack of faith? Could it be that the experience of doubt can actually lead us more deeply into a relationship of love and trust with God? Paul considers how we might steward our doubt towards this end in this next part of our series on Stewarding Life.
