Summary

During my Sabbatical, I wanted to post some short podcasts that only reached a limited number of people several years ago. They are short answers to tough apologetics and theological questions. There are 30 in total that we will be releasing every day. I hope you enjoy.

0:00.0	Welcome to the Elisa Childers podcast where we equip Christians to identify the core beliefs of historic Christianity,
0:06.4	discern its counterfeits and proclaim the gospel with clarity, kindness and truth and we are going to continue to do that even while I'm on sabbatical and not
0:15.1	recording full-length episodes until after the new year. But as we were going
0:19.6	through some old content we realized that there were some posts that only went out to a select group of
0:24.2	listeners and many of you, if you've been following the podcast for the past two or three years,
0:29.5	have not heard these posts and these are short answers to tough theological and apologetics
0:34.6	questions so we're going to be bringing a new one to you every day during sabbatical
0:38.2	here's today's. I'll never forget sitting in my rocking chair in the darkness, holding my daughter close to me with quiet tears streaming down my face.
1:01.0	I realized in that moment that my faith had become paralyzed.

1:33.9	slipped out from under her I cried out Jesus Jesus and I felt foolish. For the
1:39.7	first time in my life I felt foolish for praying. She tumbled down the stairs and
1:45.4	stood up without a scratch. She didn't even have one bruise to show for this
1:49.4	incredibly scary fall. Did Jesus hear my prayer and protect her? Did I dare believe it? I felt
1:56.4	silly for believing it and yet I did. Tim Keller wrote,
2:01.2	A faith without some doubts is like a human body without any antibodies in it.
2:05.8	People who blithely go through life too busy or indifferent to ask hard questions
2:10.4	about why they believe as they do,
