There’s a Reason It’s Called Faith

Posted on August 10, 2025 by mitchteemley

I have my doubts

about those who have no doubts

there’s a reason it’s called faith, after all

So, why do I believe?

I believe because

there’s Someone I trust

more than I trust myself

    I always think of doubt as just the inside-out of faith.

    Hebrews 11:1 is one of my favorite verses. I vacillate between faith and doubt but this verse is grounding.

    During a family emergency, a grandmother told the younger children to pray. The oldest of the children asked, “Grandma, how can you still believe in God with what is happening?” She responded with a short but astounding question: Who else is there?

    Our faith isn’t just about the moments when we believe. It’s also about the moments when we doubt and struggle, just like Doubting Thomas himself.

    “Faith is the substance of things that are hoped for, the evidence of things not seen” it can move mountains. I’m still trying to get mine to get me through the next hour. Loved your take on this, Mitch. God bless you xx

    I was married to a magician. Just because we couldn’t see the magic in progress didn’t mean it wasn’t happening.

    I’ve been strengthening my faith this summer in the wake of adversity. And yes, Mitch I took trust Him more than myself and anyone else. And in that we can all take great comfort. Thank you!

    One if my favorite verses in the Bible is Matthew 28:17. These were disciples who had walked with Jesus for most of His ministry, probably the 500 to which Paul referred and even SOME of them doubted! So I figure He can handle when I doubt and lead me through to faith… and He does so every time!🤠❤️🙏

    Yes! Sometimes, I doubt the Someone I call God, only to get myself to Someone better, which in turn helps me know myself better. Thank you.
