Summary
Description: Is it OK to doubt? Is there a difference between healthy and unhealthy doubt? Our guest today, Stacie Johnson, knows what it’s like to wrestle with doubts and develop a stronger faith along the way. She walks us through her seasons of doubt and shows us how God used these seasons to “thicken” her faith and reveal areas where she needed to grow. She also talks about the important distinction between knowing about God and truly knowing and living a life shaped by God.
