Doubt is a very human thing. In a fallen world it is impossible not to experience doubt and some point in your life. Christ-followers can feel as if they are somewhat less than those around them when they feel doubt creeping in. This can lead to feelings of shame and trying to hide issues. You are not alone in your doubt. Andrew Pivetz will take you through biblical examples of doubt and explain how it is not the doubt itself, but what we do with it that makes all the difference.

Life is not perfect. It is can be messy and hurtful at times. We can fall into the trap of pretending everything is always okay and think that we are living a good Christian life.

One of the core visions for Bedrock Lynchburg is to create a culture. But the term “culture” means a lot of different things to different people and in different settings.

Lamenting is something we see throughout the Bible. In fact, there is an entire book dedicated to the Lamentations of a prophet. But, how does this translate to us? Are we supposed to lament? Is there a right way to lament? David Clouse dives into the topic to help us better understand what this can look like in our lives by seeing how it works in the Bible.
