A Centurion comes up to Jesus asking for a miracle. A Centurion is a Roman... and Jesus said "Truly I tell you, I have not found anyone in Israel with such great faith."
Then Jesus gets in a boat with his disciples and there is a storm. They freak out and wake him up and he said to them "You of little faith, why are you so afraid?"
The Centurion, who never met Jesus or heard him speak, but just heard of him, has total faith in Jesus. The disciples, who are with Jesus every day, doubt and are afraid.
Faith was the last place you'd expect it... and so was doubt.
The good news is that we can be disciples and still doubt. The better news is that God is working where we least expect it.
