Isaac became a born-again believer at an early age. But that was a long time ago. He grew up feeling his faith every day. In school, he stood up for the Gospel and was even bullied for it. But today Isaac feels very little at times, sometimes nothing at all.“Where did my faith go? Have I lost it?” These were the questions on Isaac’s mind when he called in. In this episode, I address his concerns and offer him real hope.If you experience times in life when you feel nothing and begin to wonder where your faith is, I hope this encourages you today.
