Sometimes truth doesn’t fit the silence.

Hot take from Conclave (2024): Faith without doubt isn't strength, it’s rigidity. The film asks a question many avoid: can belief survive mystery? 👀

The Power of Doubt
What makes Conclave (2024) stand out isn’t its portrayal of religion, it’s its radical embrace of doubt as sacred. In a world obsessed with being sure, it quietly suggests that maybe the strongest faith is the one that trembles. You’ll leave questioning more than you expected, in the best way.

Okay, here's a post from Dr. Oberthaler:
Doubt isn't the opposite of faith, it's part of it. Like pruning a vine (John 15), questioning can make our belief stronger, more resilient. Embracing the "why" leads us to a deeper "what." #FaithAndDoubt #Theology #JohanneanHeart

Doubt isn’t the enemy of faith—it’s part of the journey. I’ve wrestled with God’s plan and His goodness, but through Scripture, I’ve learned doubt can deepen our trust in Him. Let’s explore how it can lead to a stronger, more grounded faith.
