Have you ever done something that immediately made you wonder, "What was I thinking?" Life often presents us with moments that defy logic—from impulsively punching a yellow jacket (bad idea!) to facing unexpected tragedies that leave us questioning everything. These moments of confusion mirror the very first Easter morning when nothing made sense to Jesus' followers.
The disciples were hiding behind locked doors. The tomb was empty. Everything they believed had been shattered overnight. Yet in this chaos, authentic faith was born. This is what I call "trippy faith"—believing when circumstances contradict logic, trusting when answers aren't visible, and moving forward when everything tells you to quit.
Faith isn't wishful thinking or blind belief. It's deep-rooted, gut-level trust that God remains at work even when we can't trace His hand. The most powerful aspect of Easter isn't just that Jesus rose—it's that He specifically sought out doubters like Thomas, meeting them in their uncertainty rather than demanding blind acceptance.
What if your doubts aren't failures but doorways? What if your questions aren't disqualifications but invitations to dig deeper? The disciples saw the resurrected Jesus, yet a week later were hiding again behind locked doors. This reveals something crucial: faith isn't a one-time decision but a daily choice to trust.
Whether you're wrestling with disappointment, uncertainty, or outright skepticism, Easter reminds us that Jesus pursues us precisely in those moments, offering not condemnation but invitation. How might your perspective shift if you viewed your doubts not as reasons to give up but as signposts to press in? What would change if you brought your questions to God rather than hiding from Him?
Discover how to develop a "trippy faith" that persists when life makes no sense, that digs deeper when challenges arise, and that transforms doubt from an obstacle into a pathway to authentic relationship with God.
