Doubt does not discredit faith. Doubt is a subcategory of faith. Faith is not psychological certainty. It is enacted trust. And Jesus can work with honest doubters who keep moving toward him.

I have deconstructed some aspect of my faith multiple times in my life. The first three happened because of my questions. The last one happened because of my failure. The first three changed my view of God. The last one changed my view of me. The first three were intellectual chess. The last was open heart surgery. And it was the most painful, disorienting, and life-changing. This is my story of deconstruction, reconstruction, and renovation.
