<p class="wp-block-paragraph">If you’ve ever had doubts about Christianity, you are not alone.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">People of faith have wrestled with questions like yours for thousands of years.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">When you&#8217;re wrestling with doubts, don&#8217;t push them down or use them as an excuse to walk away from God.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Search for answers in God&#8217;s Word and learn from believers who have walked a similar road and found their faith strengthened because of it.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Don&#8217;t be afraid to ask hard questions and don&#8217;t settle for easy answers.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Use your doubts about God as an opportunity to dig deeper, seek greater wisdom, and experience Him in new ways.</p>

<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Turning a passion into a paycheck can sometimes drain the joy right out of it.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">When it comes to work, don’t just ask, “What am I passionate about?” Ask, “What am I good at?” That’s where your vocational sweetspot lies.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Not everything that brings you joy needs to become a job. Often, the things that give you life outside of work are the very things that fuel you for your work.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Bring life to your work—but make sure you have a life outside of work.</p>
