  • The Monster Named Doubt
    Hello & welcome to The Narthex Podcast! If you desire to learn more about Christian faith and how historical context, original language and our doctrinal lens shape our interpretation of scripture with the hope of overcoming doubt, transforming your belief into trust and experiencing true freedom in the promise of the gospel, this show is for you. In this episode, we are discussing the profound struggle of doubt within faith, exploring why we often find ourselves questioning the promises we hold dear. We discuss the concepts of God's love and trust, examining how personal expectations can sometimes clash with spiritual beliefs. Through the lens of Luther's theology, we navigate the 'monstrous uncertainty' that arises when our salvation feels tied to our performance and life's achievements. We also explore the impact of life's fleeting nature and the role of confession and absolution in seeking peace and certainty. This episode invites listeners to consider the distinction between faith and feelings, emphasizing the unwavering promise of the gospel as a source of ultimate assurance.Please subscribe and post a comment or review to help our show reach more people.
