In recent years we've seen believers, pastors, and well-known Christian leaders publicly lose their faith. This phenomenon is happening with increasing regularity. Does that mean we who still believe are simply whistling past the graveyard and stubbornly forestalling our own inevitable loss of faith? Here is the big question: Is it possible to hold on to Christian faith in an age of unbelief? The answer is yes! Certainly, contemporary Nietzsches are announcing the impossibility of Christian faith, but there are also trustworthy guides who can say with Fyodor Dostoevsky. “I believe in Christ and confess him not like some child; my hosanna has passed through an enormous furnace of doubt.”
