Gathering 231: “To Encounter Doubt” // Service of Worship // ellie hutchison, Member-In-Discernment

This week, our focus again turns to the reaction and response of Jesus’ followers to his resurrection. It’s here we encounter a story of faith and doubt—a gospel account of Jesus’ appearance to all of his disciples, save one, following his resurrection. Thomas. 

Listen today as ellie hutchison explores Thomas’ struggle to accept that which is unseen and the insights we can gain from this universal experience. God wants an intimate and complex relationship with us, and it includes our struggle with doubt. Listen and discover the embodiment practices, as demonstrated by Jesus himself, we can employ to live out our encounters with doubt. Take this week to identify and seek out those individuals in your sphere who unconditionally accept your doubt and will partner with you on your journey. Who are your thought partners? Be encouraged that the Beatitudes faith community exists to journey with you through the doubt, and quell the Thomas in us all.
