What if doubt isn't the opposite of faith?
What if it's where faith actually begins?
In Mark 9, a desperate father looks at Jesus and says one of the most honest things ever recorded in Scripture: “I believe; help my unbelief.”
He isn't certain. He doesn't have his theology figured out. He's scared, exhausted, and standing in the middle of chaos.
And Jesus doesn't reject him.
In this message, Pastor Dan Minor challenges the version of Christianity that confuses certainty with faith. The mountaintop may give us beautiful experiences, but Jesus keeps leading us back down the mountain, into the mess, the questions, the suffering, and the lives of people who need healing more than they need another theological argument.
Because faith isn't about having every answer.
It's about what we do when the answers stop working.
And when religion becomes more interested in winning arguments than helping hurting people, we've missed Jesus entirely.
Maybe the question was never, “Who's right?”
Maybe Jesus keeps asking us, “Who's hurting?”
