The Enemy of Self-doubt

Audrey Rindlisbacher Podcast

"But let him ask in faith, nothing wavering. For he that wavereth is like a wave of the sea driven with the wind and tossed. For let not that man think that he shall receive anything of the Lord. A double minded man is unstable in all his ways.” ~The Holy Bible, James 1:6-8 When Audrey found herself struggling with deep self-doubts, she assumed that these doubts were valid. She spent lots of time listening to them, evaluating them and striving to consider how much truth was in them. She wanted to be humble, self-evaluating and honest with herself. She was willing to change herself and try to be better, if only she could figure out how! She spent countless hours pondering, journaling and praying. She read books, talked to friends and family and tried to get to the bottom of things. No matter what she tried, though, nothing seemed to help. As time went on and her doubts didn't go away, she became even more self-critical and confused. And then, through a scripture verse and some insights from God, what was really happening to her became perfectly clear! Join Audrey as she sheds light on what it means to waver, doubt, and be double minded. In this podcast, she clarifies what faith is and how it helps us form a partnership with God.
