My friend Simeon and I discuss whether ministers can healthily express doubt and whether doubters can participate in ministry. In our live exploration we hashed out what it might look like for a church to be "honest about doubt and hopeful about faith."

In some ways discussing the inspiration and inerrancy of Scripture feels like discussing the Trinity. It’s confusing and messy, and you’ll probably say something wrong, so maybe it's best to not say much at all? But that fear allows our false assumptions about the Bible to go unchallenged! I’m grateful that Dr. Licona encouraged me to share our honest, but uncomfortable dialogue about the inspiration and inerrancy of Scripture. Please enjoy the conversation.

Dr. Mike Licona is professor a New Testament Studies at Houston Christian University. Today we’re discussing his latest book, Jesus, Contradicted. Many Christians have serious doubts about the Bible, I was one of them! I wish I had discovered Dr. Licona and his work years ago because I think he presents an academically rigorous and satisfying explanation for why there are differences in the Gospel. But I’ll let you decide. Enjoy the conversation.

In this episode I talk with Simeon, someone who found Doubters Welcome on YouTube and reached out. After getting to know him a little I thought his story would be perfect for the podcast. He talks a lot about emotional doubt. Even if you aren't familiar with emotional doubt, you've likely experienced it. In this conversation Simeon shares a strategy for dealing with emotional doubt that has helped him journey toward faith. Enjoy the conversation.
