I was writing a video script on this topic and having a hard time organizing my thoughts, so I asked Parker if he'd be willing to talk it out. The most common advice, that we shouldn't take breaks from church, has stopped Christian leaders from hearing why people step away and has left those struggling with no practical guidance for how to take a break or reintegrate successfully. In this episode, we're honest about the Church's failures while remaining hopeful about Jesus' vision for the Church.

In this episode I chat with Justine, a colleague of mine in the Wesleyan Church. Months ago, I was part of a webinar with the Wesleyan Church, where I discussed doubt. The week after, there was a follow up call where people could come and discuss more. As Justine and I waited for people to join (and no one ever did), we had a great conversation about doubt! I appreciated Justine’s insight and really respect they way she approaches doubt and faith. In fact, it was so good that I asked Justine if I could share our conversation with you all. So, enjoy this chat between two leaders on what it looks like for to navigate doubt well as individuals, but also as a denomination.Don't hesitate to add your thoughts by reaching out to me at [email protected] you're doubting or deconstructing your faith, you're in the right place.
