Summer in the Scriptures: Psalm 42 | Dave Peterson

What do we do when our faith is shaken to its core? Dave Peterson explores the story of Elijah's crisis of faith from 1 Kings 19. Despite being a spiritual powerhouse who had just witnessed God's dramatic victory, Elijah finds himself overwhelmed by fear and discouragement. Through this deeply human story, we discover that even the most devoted servants of God experience moments of profound doubt.
