SAFT PodcastEp #86 - Is DOUBTING and Questioning Your FAITH Destructive? (ft. Tim Barnett)Does Christianity have a warm embrace for those who grapple with doubts and questions regarding the faith? If so how much should one ought to press those questions? What are the pitfalls when wrestling with doubts and questions? And how should the local churches help someone in that journey? Tim Barnett of Red Pen Logic converses on the sweeping trend of deconstructing the Christian faith and how we can best engage it with wisdom and love.Watch the Ep at https://youtu.be/DebL2PkHnr0 Links and citation:https://www.moralapologetics.com/wordpress/chapter-2...
