How Confronting Your Deepest Questions Can Lead to a Richer Faith
In The Benefit of Doubt, bestselling author and pastor Craig Groeschel shows us that doubt is not the enemy of faith but often an invitation to deeper faith. With his trademark humor, warmth, and lay-it-all-on-the-table style, Groeschel shows how asking questions, seeking answers, and wrestling with doubt can lead to a deeper relationship with God.

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.
