Doubters Welcome - Knowing God's Will for Big Decisions - with Steph
play

05/01/23 • 26 min

Big life decisions can spark and intense seeking of God and his will. And when we hear nothing in response, it can make us wonder if God is with us (or there at all). Because of that, I knew I wanted to talk about "God's will" as part of this year's exploring of encounter with God.
When my friend, Steph, reached out to tell me a Truth Snack series had helped her while discerning God's will, I knew it was time to talk about it.
Truth Snack journeys with doubting Christians toward confident faith, so if you're doubting your faith, you're in the right place! I hope this episode can be a little truth snack to help you on your way.

During our chat we talked specifically about deconstruction. What is it? Is it good or bad for faith? And how do we journey though it if we find ourselves deconstructing?

If I had 30 minutes to tell doubting Christians what to expect on their journey through doubt, I would tell them this story from 1 Kings 19! And then I would tell them they don't have to make that journey alone.
I wish every doubter knew this Bible story. It's total honesty, paired with hope, has helped me so much on my journey through doubt, and I believe it will help you too.
Enjoy!

How do we make sense of divine destruction in the Bible? What distortions do we bring to the Bible that make it hard to understand? If the Bible is so complicated, why follow Jesus?

In this episode I talk with my friend Jonny who is studying the Old Testament in pursuit of a PhD. In particular, he’s studying stories of divine destruction in the Old Testament— that’s right, he’s chosen to study the uncomfortable stories that can make us question God's goodness.
Jonny's perspective was insightful and challenging. I have no doubt this chat some wisdom to offer you on your journey through doubt. Enjoy!

Doubters Welcome - Discerning God's Voice - Pt. 2 with Kerry
play

01/15/23 • 33 min

I’m asking my mentors, "How do you discern God’s voice?" In this series, Truth Snack is exploring how encounters with God can anchor our faith during times of doubt.

Kerry shares some brilliant theological insights and, on top of that, offers a really accessible way to think about hearing God “in the normal of every day.”

One thing I love about Kerry is that we’re such different personality types. She often has a perspective I need to really chew on. But once I get it, it almost always changes how I live out my faith. This conversation is no different. So, I invite you to slow down, listen in on our chat, and enjoy.

If you're doubting your faith, you're in the right place because Truth Snack journeys with doubting Christians toward confident faith.
Recently I came across an article that laid out a 5-stage model of religious deconversion. I was surprised by how much I resonated with it! Why did I not lose my faith? I wanted to know more so today I'm talking to the author, Joel Furches.
I think Joel's research will help you make sense of the journey you're on and offer some hope for how you might journey toward faith again.

In this episode I talk with Dr. Jana Harmon, author of Atheists Finding God. For her book (and PhD) she interviewed 50 former atheists because she wanted to know, what would it take for an atheist to believe in Christianity? I thought that topic might be of interest to those who are wondering about themselves, what would it take for me to believe?
Dr. Harmon has spent countless hours considering what motivates people to make life-altering changes to their worldview, so stick around until the end to hear Dr. Harmon's heartfelt advice to those who are wrestling with doubt. Enjoy the conversation!

You can find more conversations with Dr. Harmon on Side B Stories Podcast. And as always, if you have something to add, don’t hesitate to reach out at [email protected]
