FaithBuilder - The Single Eye of Faith

In this FaithBuilder episode, host Michelle looks at understanding and embracing 'The Single Eye of Faith' - the idea that faith is more than just believing in Jesus; it is a substance and an assured expectation that we must hold on to and focus on even when our experience tells us something else.

The Bible describes faith as the evidence of things not seen and this episode emphasizes the importance of  receiving the answer to prayers when you can’t yet see anything, aligning prayers with God's word and will avoiding double-mindedness, and refusing doubt, while compassionately addressing the “Why?” question, explaining the possible effects of time and trauma on faith, and encouraging the listener in how to maintain that faith in the face of adversity and negative experiences.

Through scripture, inspiring biblical examples and personal anecdotes, Michelle encourages listeners to hold on to faith with patience and singleminded-ness, believing that God can and will fulfill his promises.
