Lord, Help My Unbelief
Listen to the first session of Crackers & Grape Juice's discussion
A few years ago my friend Jason and I were introduced to the work of Rev. Fleming Rutledge. Fleming’s work has pushed and challenged me to become a better preacher and pastor. She has been more than generous with her time over the years.
Throughout the pandemic, the Crackers and Grape Juice House of Theological Studies has offered various studies to keep our listeners connected to one another while we were grounded at home. Our latest discussion is no different. We are exploring Rev. Rutledge’s book, Help My Unbelief.
From the back jacket:
Nothing has motivated Fleming Rutledge in her preaching more than addressing people’s struggles with doubt. Now with a new preface from the author, Help My Unbelief speaks directly to the “faithful doubters” and the “unbelieving believers” of the church who wrestle with questions and uncertainties about Christian faith.
What if I’m not very religious?
Why isn’t it enough just to be good and loving?
How can I respond to an abstraction like the Trinity?
Isn’t Christianity outmoded?
Can we still believe in the Resurrection today?
Fleming Rutledge approaches these questions with a combination of pastoral warmth and theological fearlessness, aligning herself with those seeking answers and pointing readers toward the One who creates and sustains faith.
I hope you’ll listen to this first conversation and then join us on Monday evening. These studies are always free but if you’d like to support the ministry of Crackers and Grape Juice you can do so by subscribing to CGJ+.
