Episode 26: The Faith of an Oxymoron (A Man Who Was "Kinda Sure")

In this episode of Walking Close, Living Changed, Brian continues his series on people who received immediate miracles from Jesus by examining the father who cried, "I do believe; help me overcome my unbelief." Through the story in Mark 9, Brian shows that Jesus can respond even when faith feels incomplete, conflicted, or "kinda sure."

He challenges listeners to stop arguing, move beyond blame, confront the roots of long-standing problems, forgive where needed, and bring whatever faith they have directly to Jesus. The episode offers hope that struggling faith can still reach Christ—and that Jesus can bring lasting freedom, lift people to their feet, and help them begin a new walk.
