Faith in Motion, the Podcast
Hosted by Rev. Kelsey Peterson Beebe, this show explores what it means to have an embodied faith - a faith that comes alive in how we live, move, and love. Together, we slow down, reconnect with God, and learn to practice faith in tangible ways. In this space, you are invited to experience God’s love within and around you, and gently called forward to embody that grace in the world.

A Doubt-Full Faith: Why Doubt Is a Crucial Part of a Living Faith
Use Left/Right to seek, Home/End to jump to start or end. Hold shift to jump forward or backward.
Some days, the most honest prayer I can offer is a question. Maybe you feel that, too—the uncertainty bubbling up, and the wondering if doubt means we’re drifting away. This episode is a gentle companion for those shadowy places of faith, where wrestling with God feels both lonely and necessary.
This week on Faith in Motion, we explore why doubt and uncertainty aren't the enemy of faith, but hallmarks of a faith that endures and grows.
In this episode, you’ll hear:
- A deeply personal story of navigating faith, loss, and belonging in young adulthood
- Why doubt is not opposed to faith, but is part of its strength and resilience
- Reflections on Jacob’s and Thomas’s stories as examples of holy wrestling and curiosity
- The concept of the “restlessness of the heart” and how it keeps us returning to God
- An invitation to see faith as something flexible, enduring, and alive
Whether you’re in the middle of a dark night of the soul or just need permission to ask your questions out loud, this episode is an invitation to rest in God’s presence—with all your doubts, curiosity, and hope.
