Klappentext

Step into a faith that isn't afraid of tough questions.

In a culture that often views faith with skepticism, it is natural to wrestle with hard questions and even doubts about God. Does he actually exist? Is the Bible historically accurate? Is there credible evidence that Jesus was the Son of God and rose from the dead?

You aren't alone in wanting to feel confident in your convictions. Just like every Christian throughout history, you want to know that your faith rests on a solid foundation of truth. The Demolishing Doubt Bible Study is designed to walk alongside you and provide this reassurance. Through five video sessions, Cliffe and Stuart Knechtle, founders of the Give Me an Answer ministry and YouTube channel, discuss the toughest topics facing believers today.

As a companion to those sessions, this study guide provides the space you need to process these arguments personally and practically. By working through these lessons, you will not only strengthen your own understanding and faith but will also gain the tools to engage your friends, family, and community in meaningful, life-changing dialogue.

Demolishing Doubt is an invitation to explore the big questions of life with a reasoned and open heart. Whether you are seeking answers, yearning for truth, or looking to deepen your faith, this study will provide a robust and thoughtful exploration of the intersection of faith and reason.

Sessions:

1. What Is the Evidence for God? (22 minutes) Session one equips participants to overcome doubt by exploring evidence for God through the cosmological, teleological (design), moral, and problem-of-evil arguments, supported by Scripture, science, and personal reflection.
2. Are the Gospels Historically Reliable? (23 minutes) The second session explores compelling evidence--eyewitness testimony, early and abundant manuscript support, archaeological confirmation, and non-Christian historical sources--that the Gospels are historically reliable and trustworthy accounts of Jesus' life, death, and resurrection.
3. Is The Evidence About Jesus Trustworthy? (22 minutes) Session three equips readers to evaluate the trustworthiness of the Gospel accounts by examining historical reliability, Jesus' explicit claims to divinity, supporting evidence through miracles and fulfilled prophecy, and the unique Christian message of salvation by grace.
4. Did Jesus Really Rise From the Dead? (24 minutes) Session Four investigates the historical evidence for Jesus' resurrection--focusing on the empty tomb, eyewitness testimony, transformed disciples, and the failure of alternative explanations--and highlights how the resurrection anchors Christian faith with hope, purpose, and the promise of eternal life.
5. Why Is Faith So Important? (23 minutes) This session explains why biblical faith matters as a reasoned trust in Jesus grounded in evidence, expressed through obedience and perseverance in doubt and suffering, and strengthened by remembering God's past faithfulness. This study guide includes:
