Approaching Doubt with Gentleness with Niki Hardy

“Doubt doesn’t have to be our faith’s kryptonite. It can be its superpower.”    That’s coming from someone who from the outside looks like she’s got her faith altogether... She’s moved her family from England to the U.S. to plant a church, written books about God’s faithfulness when life falls apart, speaks across the country and has thousands in her community who look to her for encouragement.   Today, we’re talking about these doubts and questions - whether for ourselves or voiced by someone we care about - and the inner anxiety that often comes with it. We may fear God can’t handle our questions or feel the pressure to “fix” the leak in our spiritual journey, not wanting faith to unravel. Instead, how can we approach this space with gentleness?   Niki Hardy is a proud Brit (now living in the US) and the author of the Audi Award–nominated Breathe Again and One-Minute Prayers for Women with Cancer. Niki has been featured on the Hallmark Channel, Life Today, and Premier Radio. Having left corporate life, been to seminary, moved continents, planted churches, started businesses and nonprofits, and navigated loss, cancer, church hurt, and painful uncertainty, she firmly believes God loves a cheerful doubter. Niki lives in North Carolina with her husband and ridiculous Doodle, Charlie, who is the main reason their three grown kids come home.
