Wrestling With Faith When Nothing Makes Sense
by Calvin Dodson
When prayers go unanswered.
When addiction, loss, illness, or failure leave faith shaken.
When God feels silent - or distant.
Can I Trust God? is not a book of easy answers.
It's an honest, faith-filled journey written by a man who has lived the question.
Drawing from real struggle and hard-won hope, Calvin Dodson speaks directly to men who are wrestling with doubt, anger, disappointment, and the quiet fear that maybe God can't be trusted after all.
This book doesn't sugarcoat faith.
It invites men to face it head-on.
Can I Trust God? is designed for individual reading and as a guided men's group experience, making it ideal for:
Men's small groups
Recovery and re-entry programs
Church study groups
Discipleship circles
Men walking through loss, addiction, or major life transitions
Each section is crafted to spark real conversation, encourage shared reflection, and create space for honesty - not performance.
What to do when trusting God feels impossible
Why doubt doesn't disqualify you from faith
How to wrestle with God without walking away
The role of brotherhood and community in restoring trust
How faith can survive - and grow - in the hardest seasons
This isn't about pretending everything is okay.
It's about discovering that God can still be trusted - even here.
Men tired of surface-level faith
Men asking hard questions they've never said out loud
Men in recovery or rebuilding their lives
Men seeking honest faith, not religious clich s
If you've ever asked, "Can I really trust God?"
You're not alone - and you're not weak for asking.
Perfect for personal reflection or group discussion.
