In his message at TGCW22, Michael Kruger addresses the issue of doubt in Christianity, both in individual lives and within the larger culture.
Kruger critiques two ineffective approaches to doubt: doubt shaming and intellectual superficiality. He argues doubt should be approached with the compassion of God and not seen as a virtue or as something to be shamed.
Kruger highlights various causes of doubt, including unanswered questions, suffering, church corruption, and unrepentant sin. He offers advice on how to battle doubts in one’s faith by seeking help from fellow believers, studying theology and biblical truths, and recognizing the importance of creating a safe space for doubt within the church community.
Ultimately, Kruger calls on the Christian community to provide more compassion toward individuals facing doubts while providing them with a secure space to navigate their faith questions.
