## Resource

We often demand strong evidence for what we believe, yet accept our doubts without question. Drawing on the idea of logical symmetry, Brian challenges us to apply the same scrutiny to our skepticism as we do to faith. When we begin to question our doubts, uncertainty can shift—from a barrier into an opening toward deeper trust.
