Why do people struggle to believe - even when there's such good evidence there?
In this Super Short Thought, we explore a striking diagnosis Jesus gives in Luke 24:25:
“Slow of heart to believe.”
Using the idea of bradycardia (a dangerously slow heartbeat), this short reflection exposes something deeper than intellectual doubt. The issue, Jesus says, isn’t a lack of evidence - it’s a resistance of the heart.
The first disciples had already heard:
- The tomb was empty
- Witnesses had spoken
- The story was unfolding
And yet they couldn’t bring themselves to believe.
Does that sound familiar?
Many today assume disbelief is about lack of proof. But maybe the real barrier is more personal.
What if belief would mean rethinking control, identity, and direction? Does the heart shrink back from that?
This short video invites you to consider:
When it comes to not feeling able to believe, is the problem really “out there”… or is it something within?
