What Do I Do with My Doubts?
Wesley Huff. At certain times in our faith journey we have doubt. We doubt our beliefs, doubt the certainty in the faith we profess to follow, and doubt whether our future has any direction. Is it OK to doubt?
Wesley Huff
Wesley is the Central Canada Regional Director for Apologetics Canada and a New Testament PhD student.
Wesley Huff was born in Multan, Pakistan and spent a portion of his childhood in the Middle East. After being diagnosed with a rare neurological condition at the age of 11 that left him paralyzed from the waist down he experienced a miraculous recovery that the doctors themselves said they had no medical explanation for. This experience, along with a great deal of study and soul searching in his later teens helped his interest in the subjects of faith, and engaging the beliefs and worldview perspectives of others.
He has participated in numerous talks and interfaith dialogue events at universities across Canada and has been participating in public dialogues on issues of faith, belief, and religion for the last ten years. He enjoys canoeing, archery, and cats (although not all three at the same time). Wes lives in Toronto with his wife Melissa, their son Eli, and their daughter Everly.

Andrew Russell

Russell’s accomplishments as an artist showcase his work ethic and blessing that God has placed in his life. Andrew is a status member of the Wood Mountain Lakota people in Saskatchewan. He was born to an Indigenous mother and adopted into a non Indigenous Chrsotian home when he was 4 months old. Over the past decade, he has been on a
learning and growing journey about his identity as an Indigenous man. He now serves as the Indigenous Coordinator for Briercrest, working with our Indigenous students as a connection point and a support person as they navigate Briercrest life.
