When Faith Meets the Abyss of Doubt
What happens when the faith you've built your life around suddenly stops making sense? This question haunts countless believers, yet remains taboo in many religious communities. For Peter Enns, the catalyst came from an unexpected source - a Disney movie. While flying home from an academic conference, he watched "Bridge to Terabithia" and encountered a scene where a young non-religious girl innocently questions the harsh portrayal of God she heard in church. This simple observation hit Enns with unexpected force, making him realize he'd never truly examined what kind of God he actually believed in. Despite his theological education and position as a seminary professor, a child's perspective resonated more deeply than the punitive deity he'd accepted throughout his religious career. These "uh-oh moments" arrive uninvited - through films, conversations, or children's questions - introducing instability to once-stable faith. While frightening, they serve a holy purpose: breaking down religious systems that block questioning and growth. Churches, ironically, often become the riskiest places for spiritual honesty, where people suppress doubts until they eventually explode into crisis. The journey through uncertainty isn't a sign of weak faith but often the beginning of a more authentic relationship with God - one built on trust rather than certainty.
