Episode 2 - Faith (Part 1)
Faith, as discussed in Hebrews 11, is not about the absence of doubt but about trusting God despite it. True faith is taking God at His word and living expectantly for His promises, unlike modern-day fideism which equates faith with manifesting desires. Hebrews 11, the 'Hall of Fame of Faith,' showcases biblical figures like Abraham, who trusted God's promises even without seeing their fulfillment. Misplaced faith, such as in Word of Faith theology, can lead to crises when expectations aren't met. True faith focuses on God's proven loyalty, not the size of our belief. Deconstructing and reconstructing faith is crucial, especially through suffering, which can draw us closer to God. Embrace 'even if' faith, trusting God even when circumstances don't change, and reflect on areas where you need to rebuild your faith with proper guidance.
