Closing summary: faith is simply trust; the reasons for faith are a separate discussion from the nature of faith itself

Mike concludes: 'Faith is simply trusting in God.' The word 'faith' says nothing about why you believe — a person may have good reasons, bad reasons, or no reasons. Faith is trust, full stop. The evidential question ('What are your reasons for believing?') is a separate and important conversation. Skeptics conflate the two: they assume 'I have faith' already means 'I have no evidence.' Christians need to resist this framing and be precise about what faith means.
