Jim MoraHOST
Do you get your skimming stones given to you? There were allegations last year of stone tampering.

Abby McDonaldGUEST
So the big rule... of the ESA World Stone Skimming Championships, is you have to pick your rock from the island.

Abby McDonaldGUEST
And so last year, a few people were shaping their own stones, and so it was very honed in this year, you must pick them from the island.

Mike HoskingHOST
The thing about, what are you looking for in the contest? Are you looking for skips or distance?

Mike HoskingHOST
And the weather as you go to the north of, I mean, you're right up the top there.

Abby McDonaldGUEST
Well, yeah, they've just had that big heat wave over here in the UK, but the last week they've opened the heavens and it's been pouring down with rain.

14:46Why do you think some believers doubt their ability to hear God's voice? And have you ever experienced this doubt in your own life? And if so, how did you move past it?

Abby McDonaldGUEST
I think that there's a number of different reasons why we can doubt our ability to hear God.

Abby McDonaldGUEST
I think that especially in the beginning of our faith, we just have so many questions and it's natural for us to just go to somebody else with those questions because we don't necessarily trust our ability to answer them for ourselves or to go to God with our questions and to hear from Him.

Abby McDonaldGUEST
And I think that's natural and that's normal, but God wants our faith to grow.
