We believe God wants us to understand the Bible. So we’ll approach the Bible with eager anticipation, confident that God will show us the truth. Then, he’ll show us how to live in these sometimes confusing and discouraging times. Join us as we make the complicated simple, cooperate with grace, and stretch toward God’s high calling.
Every week we’ll take a fresh look at the Bible and discover that Faith Is . . . absolute confidence in the trustworthiness of God.
Born a Buckeye in southwestern Ohio, Pastor Rick Stevens has served churches from Oklahoma to New Brunswick, Canada. He has been a pastor, youth pastor, and church music director.

His most unusual travel experience was visiting the Chernobyl Nuclear Power Station in Ukraine; the site of the world’s worst nuclear power accident.

All that and more this week on Faith Is . . . with Pastor Rick Stevens.
Today on Faith Is . . . we look at another story from the life of Jesus where he asked a similar question: why do doubts arise in your minds? To answer that question we’ll examine the story of Jesus’ post-resurrection appearance and provide insights on how we can overcome doubt and build strength into our lives…
Doubt, honest doubt, can lead us to resolution, to confidence, to faith. This week on Faith Is . . . we look at the story of Thomas and how he changed from Doubting Thomas to Believing Thomas. We can follow his example and become believers when we change our lives…
