Benefit Of Doubt Workbook (Workbook)

The strongest faith isn’t one without doubts. The strongest faith is a one that grows through doubts.

“Am I the only one who has these doubts? What if my friends, family, or others find out I’m doubting–and even deconstructing–my faith in God? What is really true? Can we be sure about anything?” At some point, we’ve all had questions about Christianity and doubts about God. We’re afraid we might never find answers. Yet we’re not sure we’re ready for the undoing of our faith altogether.

Bestselling author and pastor Craig Groeschel has walked through the valley of doubt himself. In The Benefit of Doubt Workbook, which accompanies the book of the same name, he reveals how asking questions, seeking answers, and wrestling with doubt can actually draw us closer to God. With his trademark humor, warmth, and lay-it-all-on-the-table attitude, Craig shares stories from his own life as well as the Bible to help us wrestle with–and find helpful answers to–questions fueling our doubt:

*What should I do when I doubt God’s goodness?
*Why doesn’t God answer my prayers?
*Why would God only provide one way to heaven?
*Why believe in Jesus when his followers are such hypocrites?
*Why does God sometimes feel so far away?
*Doesn’t science disprove the Bible?
*How do I know if what I believe is actually biblical?

Doubt is a normal part of faith, but that doesn’t make it any less intimidating to navigate. So if you’re wrestling with doubts, keep walking, keep knocking, keep asking, and keep seeking. As Craig writes, “I believe everyone–whether a long-term committed Christian or a long-term committed atheist–struggles with doubts. The doubts of a Christ-follower can take the shape of benign curiosity or a malignant tumor. It seems more Christians today are struggling and questioning or deconstructing their faith. I understand these doubts and want to help. It is my hope that this message moves you into a life after doubt and that you experience the fullness of all God has for you.”
