Episode 39: I Just Can’t Believe That!

We all want the Christian faith to be passed on to the next generations, but numbers across the board aren’t indicating that is going well. This week, Sandra and Pastor Riley talk about what it means to be the communion of saints, who gather to receive gifts from God in Word and Sacrament, and learn together the liturgy and traditions of the Church.

Eventually, all Christians eventually face doubts about their faith. Whether it’s being unsure about something new or different from what they’ve known before, or an all-out doubting that all this Christianity business is true…sinners doubt. If you tell someone about your doubts, do you worry about being drummed out of the church? Should you just keep it all to yourself, try harder to believe, and hope your faith returns? Sandra and Pastor Riley discuss doubt, faith, confession and how as Lutherans, our confession of faith actually includes room for doubt. We believe that we can’t believe.
