Thomas is not in the room when this unprecedented encounter with Jesus happens.<\/p><p class=\"m_-7126845529796618064mcePastedContent\">So Reasonable Thomas does a very reasonable thing next \u2013 he tells the others that unless he sees the mark of the nails and the wound on Jesus\u2019s side, he will not believe.<\/p><p style=\"text-align: center\"><strong>Not Asking for Anything Unusual<\/strong><\/p><p class=\"m_-7126845529796618064mcePastedContent\">When this passage is discussed, it most often frames Thomas in a negative light. It\u2019s used to advance the idea that faith without seeing is better than faith with seeing, but all that Thomas is asking for in this passage is something that Christ has\u00a0<em>already\u00a0<\/em>offered the other disciples a few verses prior. \u201cAfter he said this, he showed them his hands and his side. The disciples were overjoyed when they saw the Lord\u201d (John 20:20).<\/p><p class=\"m_-7126845529796618064mcePastedContent\">Thomas isn\u2019t asking for something unusual. Just the same thing the other disciples were offered. Why have his questions become suspicious to us?<\/p><p style=\"text-align: center\"><strong>A Subtle Subtext<\/strong><\/p><p class=\"m_-7126845529796618064mcePastedContent\">I grew up during the era of books with titles like\u00a0<em>Bible Answers to Life\u2019s Big Questions<\/em>. These kinds of books helped me along in my faith journey in wonderful ways, but sometimes there\u2019s a subtle subtext left behind that if our lives produce big questions, the Bible has the answers to those questions waiting in the wings for us.<\/p><p class=\"m_-7126845529796618064mcePastedContent\">The problem with this approach is that it prioritizes the answers over the questions themselves, when it is our questions that I think sometimes draw us into the holiest of encounters with God.<\/p><p style=\"text-align: center\"><strong>Having Honest Conversations<\/strong><\/p><p class=\"m_-7126845529796618064mcePastedContent\">In my work as a professor in marriage and family therapy, it is in this embracing of questions that I most often find myself able to bring my faith into the classroom. My school is right in the middle of the Bible Belt, and as we\u2019re learning how to work with the culture of our clients, we have to have honest conversations about what to do when clients see the source of their pain as a spiritual issue rather than a psychological one.<\/p><p class=\"m_-7126845529796618064mcePastedContent\">Students of faith are quick to embrace the idea of spiritual healing. Students without a religious faith are quick to rush to the textbook to explain the issue at hand.<\/p><p style=\"text-align: center\"><strong>Somewhere in the Middle<\/strong><\/p><p>The truth, I believe, generally lies somewhere in the middle of these two. Inviting students into conversations where their certainty can be questioned in either direction creates space for the kind of conversations that would generally be hard to structure at a state school.<\/p><p class=\"m_-7126845529796618064mcePastedContent\">I firmly believe this gives the Holy Spirit an opening to start stirring things in the hearts of my students. Anne Lamott said it best \u2013 \u201cthe opposite of faith is not doubt, but certainty.\u201d It is in the questioning of certainty that I have been able to make the most space to engage students with conversations that invite faith to the table.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t<section data-particle_enable=\"false\" data-particle-mobile-disabled=\"false\" class=\"elementor-section elementor-top-section elementor-element elementor-element-d6fcd01 elementor-section-boxed elementor-section-height-default elementor-section-height-default\" data-id=\"d6fcd01\" data-element_type=\"section\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-container elementor-column-gap-default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-column elementor-col-50 elementor-top-column elementor-element elementor-element-dca6718\" data-id=\"dca6718\" data-element_type=\"column\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-wrap elementor-element-populated\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-29af160 elementor-widget elementor-widget-image\" data-id=\"29af160\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"image.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/campus.cru.org\/faculty\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/652\/2026\/04\/unnamed_91f45f.jpg?w=320\" title=\"unnamed_91f45f\" alt=\"unnamed_91f45f\" loading=\"lazy\" \/>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-column elementor-col-50 elementor-top-column elementor-element elementor-element-42f79dc\" data-id=\"42f79dc\" data-element_type=\"column\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-wrap elementor-element-populated\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-726660f elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"726660f\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p><strong>Ben Jones<\/strong><\/p><p>Human Development and Family Science<\/p><p>University of Southern Mississippi<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>I\u2019ve never understood why we call him \u201cDoubting Thomas,\u201d when \u201cReasonable Thomas\u201d feels like a much better description.
