Is there a way to walk faithfully through doubt and come out the other side with a deeper love for Jesus, the church, and its tradition? Can we question our faith without losing it? Today, we are going to explore this with Dr. A.J. Swoboda, author of the newly released book: After Doubt: How to Question Your Faith without Losing It.
Dr. A. J. Swoboda (PhD, Birmingham) is assistant professor of Bible, theology, and World Christianity at Bushnell University. As well, he leads a Doctor of Ministry program around the Holy Spirit and Leadership at Fuller Seminary. He is the author of a number of books, including the award-winning Subversive Sabbath (Brazos) and his new book After Doubt. He is married to Quinn and is the proud father of Elliot. They live and work in Eugene, Oregon.
Dr. A. J. Swoboda has witnessed many young people wrestle with their core Christian beliefs. Too often, what begins as a set of critical and important questions turns to resentment and faith abandonment. Unfortunately, the church has largely ignored its task of serving people along their journey of questioning. The local church must walk alongside those who are deconstructing their faith and show them how to reconstruct it.
After Doubt offers a hopeful, practical vision of spiritual formation for those in the process of faith deconstruction and those who serve them.

There’s a phenomenon going on in the church today, among Christians and the non-practicing, post-church Christians. They yes to Jesus, and no to the church. However, I do not believe that people are rejecting the church outright, but are rejecting the attempts being made at being the Church. People work with methods and systems but they never get down to the essence of what the Church is. Church, after all, is not a place you go, but a people who exist.

I want you to hear a story that started many years ago, which really reached it’s climax on November 21, 2011, when I received a Facebook message from Athena.
This is a story of toxic leadership and spiritual abuse, manipulation, and loss. You’ll hear Athena’s story of falling prey to a cult that took everything from her. You will also hear how God brought this story full circle. This is also a story of redemption, healing, and hope.
You can find Athena’s book Full Circle: Coming Home to the Faithfulness of God through Redemption Press or on Amazon.

Hey everybody! Welcome back to the podcast. I want to pose this question: Can God be trusted? If you spend your whole life serving God, can He really be trusted? What about when the unthinkable happens?
Today we’re going to explore what happens to a man, to a family, to a person, when the unthinkable happens and they must learn to follow God in the dark.
Steve Mickel had it all, and on Thursday, June 16th, 2016 the unthinkable happened. You’ll hear Steve’s story about growing in faith as he walked through the dark.
