The Doubt Episode

In this episode of the Joy Journey Podcast, host Andy Buckwalter delves into the often-avoided topic of doubt, exploring its implications in both personal and communal contexts. He discusses the resistance people have towards doubt in others and themselves, the fear of losing identity and community, and the importance of creating safe spaces for open dialogue about doubt. Buckwalter also outlines the four stages of faith as described in Brian McLaren's book 'Faith After Doubt', emphasizing that doubt is not the opposite of faith but rather an integral part of it. The episode encourages listeners to embrace their doubts and foster environments where such discussions can occur without fear.
