    If you've ever wondered, "Can I still be a Christian if I have doubts?" you're not alone. The truth is, even some of the Bible's most faithful people wrestled with questions, uncertainty, and moments of unbelief.

    Pastor Jesse is here with a reminder that doubt doesn't have to drive us away from God. Instead, when we bring our questions into the light and honestly seek Jesus, He meets us with grace, truth, and the reassurance we need to keep moving forward in faith.

    Soccer is the Game... What God's Doing is the Story!
    Jun 19 2026
    When the World Cup comes to your backyard, it’s easy to get swept up in the noise, but this convo reminds us that God is moving just as loudly. As Seattle fills with fans from every corner of the globe, doors are opening for everyday believers to share hope in simple, Spirit-led moments, whether it’s praying with a stranger on his 50th birthday or watching athletes boldly kneel in gratitude after a match.

    There’s something powerful about seeing world‑class players drop the spotlight and lift up Jesus, showing that humility isn’t weakness but worship. Whether a team wins 3–0 or loses 7–1, the posture of praise stays the same. It’s a timely reminder that what happens on the pitch can teach us how to live off it, with courage, compassion, and a faith that refuses to stay hidden.
