Robin Dance is a wife, mother, longtime blogger for In(courage) and other sites, and author of the new book For All Who Wander: Why Knowing God is Better Than Knowing it All. Today she's back on the show for the second part of our conversation talking all about experiencing doubt and growing in your faith.
What We Chat about in Today's Episode:
~The issue with playing the victim and having a victim mentality; understanding our identity in Christ as being victors and more than conquerors
~The enemy's attack on our minds and the importance of taking every thought captive
~Looking to the Word rather than the world to define us
~The identity language found in Ephesians and Romans that help us understand the truth about ourselves in light of Christ
~How having the freedom to doubt, wrestle, and ask questions actually built Robin's faith; the encouragement this brings to us as moms who are often fearful at the thought of our children ever expressing or experiencing doubt
~Robin's advice for any mom whose children are experiencing doubt
~The good that comes from our children expressing questions and building a strong and real faith of their own; the reality that the day will come when our children will need to be able to stand on their own two feet and not depend on our faith
~The problem with legalism and a performance-based faith
~The reality of many well-known faith leaders walking away from what they had believed; the issue of deconstructionism and how that differs from walking through doubt
~The difference between what the church looked like in the 80s and 90s versus what it looks like today
~And more!
