What if having doubts doesn’t mean your faith is failing—but that it’s growing? On the latest episode of Restoring Hope, the Missionaries of the Precious Blood podcast, Fr. Kevin Scalf, CPPS, sits down with acolyte Newton Li to talk honestly about faith, doubt, questions, and the journey of believing.
