Sociologists tells us that 43-45% of people will go through a major faith transition at some point in their life. And that’s any faith transition. So that can be from one Christian denomination to another denomination; that can be from belief to atheism; that can also be from secularism to some form of faith. 44% is a huge number. It has some folks raising the alarm against those who would begin a process of doubt or healthy deconstruction. Doubt is considered by some to be the enemy of faith. In this teach we will discover that viewing doubt in this way is both unhelpful and un-scriptural. Furthermore, it perpetuates the myth is that when we go through the process of doubt and deconstruction, we have somehow lost our faith. The fact is that if you doubt, it means that you do have faith. Throughout the ancient history of the church, faith has been defined as a combination of knowing and not knowing. Of a willingness and readiness by the grace of God to live with a certain degree of unknowing— or what the mystics call darkness.
