Jesus and the Dad

In this honest and relatable Father’s Day message, part of the Road Trip with Jesus series, the focus is on doubt—something every believer wrestles with at some point. Through the story in Mark 9, where a desperate father brings his son to Jesus for healing, we see three different responses to doubt: the scribes let it harden into denial, the disciples let it hinder their calling, and the father allowed his doubt to draw him closer to Jesus. His simple, powerful prayer—“I do believe; help me overcome my unbelief”—models the kind of raw honesty God can work with. The message reminds us that faith isn’t about having zero doubts, but about bringing them honestly to God and inviting Him into the struggle. When we do that, God may not remove every question, but He can change our perspective—and that can change everything.
