The Benefit of Doubt

How Confronting Your Deepest Questions Can Lead to a Richer Faith

About this book

Struggling with Doubt Doesn't Make You a Bad Christian--It Might Be What Saves Your Faith.

If you're secretly wrestling with questions about God, faith, or the Bible, you're not alone--and you're not broken.

In The Benefit of Doubt, bestselling pastor Craig Groeschel shows how your hardest spiritual questions can actually deepen your faith, not destroy it. Instead of hiding from doubt, Groeschel invites you to bring it into the light--and watch what God can do with it.

Through candid stories, biblical insight, and real-life struggles, Groeschel reframes doubt as a path, not a problem. With humor, humility, and hope, he walks alongside you to explore the most common (and often unspoken) spiritual questions--not with judgment, but with wisdom and empathy.

What You'll Learn:

  • Why doubt doesn't mean your faith is weak--it means you're asking the right questions
  • What to do when God feels silent, distant, or absent
  • How to reconcile science and Scripture without giving up either
  • Why unanswered prayers don't mean unanswered purpose
  • How to talk about spiritual questions in communities that value certainty
  • Why Jesus is still worth following, even when Christians fall short

 

How Readers Are Using This Book:

"This helped me reopen conversations with my teen about faith and doubt--without shame."

"We used this in our small group, and it unlocked a whole new level of honesty."

Readers are

  • Using the book's reflection prompts for journaling or discussion
  • Bringing it into small-group studies, church leadership circles, and counseling contexts
  • Rebuilding faith after spiritual deconstruction or burnout
  • Sharing it with teens, new believers, or friends quietly questioning their faith

 

Who This Book Is For:

  • Christians silently struggling with doubt or spiritual disconnection
  • Small-group leaders navigating honest faith conversations
  • Believers going through deconstruction but still longing for God
  • Pastors, parents, and mentors helping others process faith questions with compassion

 

Doubt isn't a dead end. It's an invitation to something deeper.

The Benefit of Doubt will help you rediscover a faith that not only can withstand your hardest questions but sees those questions as a way to draw closer to God.
