"Hard questions help us gain a clearer picture of our faith."

Hi all

I am wondering if this sentence sounds idiomatic.

Hard questions help us gain a clearer picture of our faith.

Thank you.

Best wishes

The metaphor is somewhat mixed. I don't think we gain a picture. We gain an understanding or form a picture, to mention two possibilities.
