Doubt. It is something that we have all struggled with at some point in our lives. If you grew up in church, you may have been told that faith has no room for doubt and learned to just push your doubts aside in the name of being a good Christian. But what if I told you that not only is there room for doubt in your faith, but it can also strengthen your faith in the long run?

Are there things that are binding you up and holding you back in your life? Are there things that you need to leave behind and refuse to carry into this new year with you? Here are 5 things I have done that have created lasting change in my life. Maybe one of these can create lasting change in yours too.

This is that time of year when we start thinking about making changes – “new year, new you” and all that. This is a good time to ask yourself, what do I want to be different this year? I would like to challenge you to consider doing a couple of things as we head into 2021.

A new year usually means new goals and new resolutions for people. Some people go back to the gym. Some people start trying to eat better. Some people create personal finance budgets. Some people decide that they are not going to yell at their kids as much. Some people start reading the Bible again.

But have you ever heard of someone making a resolution to stop sleeping?

It has been a year to remember…or perhaps, a year to forget. Changes, uncertainties, and unknowns left us often overwhelmed and consumed. But the thing I’ll remember most from 2020 is probably the ANGER.
