Reflections with Andy - Matthew 11: 2-6 - Crisis Moments

Andy Stoddard

As we continue our journey toward Christmas, we reflect on the profound humanity of John the Baptist, who found himself questioning his life’s work and Jesus’ identity while facing execution in prison. We recognize that even the most devoted among us can experience a crisis of faith, yet we understand that these moments of doubt do not invalidate our status as Christians; rather, they highlight our human need for reassurance. We argue that the vital response to such moments is not to retreat, but to turn toward the truth of Scripture and the support of our faith community. By bathing our minds in the Word now, we ensure that we have a firm foundation to lean on whenever we find ourselves asking if we have "done it right."
