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. Together, they explore how wrestling with what we believe can lead us toward deeper trust, greater hope, and a more authentic relationship with Christ.
It’s a real, thoughtful conversation rooted in the Missionaries of the Precious Blood’s call to reconciliation and the healing power of Christ’s love.
