Salt Lake Tribune sports columnist Gordon Monson writes that Latter-day Saints who struggle with spiritual certainty — who cannot say they "know" the church is true — can still believe God is OK with walking by faith rather than knowledge.

The piece argues for space within the faith for those who experience doubt, framing belief as sufficient without absolute testimony. Monson, a member himself, addresses a cultural pressure within the church to express certainty about truth claims.

The column appears days after October 2026 general conference and engages with longstanding tensions between institutional emphasis on testimony and members' actual lived experience of faith and doubt.
