Faith’s Dance with Doubt
I found this FM episode with Brian McLaren a most interesting exploration of simplicity -> complexity -> perplexity -> harmony. Though coming from a different Christian tradition, his faith journey parallels, at least in its early stages, the journey of many members of our church. And though my life’s journey is quite different from his, listening to him gave me deeper insight and compassion for those walking this path. The episode on FM prompted me to download his book “Faith Beyond Doubt” and listen to it on Audible. I found it fascinating and recommend it to those who may find themselves on a similar journey. He expands on many of the ideas he shared on the podcast and goes even farther in his journey. I’m reminded of the excellent book, “Faith is Not Blind” by Bruce and Marie Hafen. It deals with similar issues, though they write from an LDS perspective and use a three-step model for a faith journey, i.e. simplicity -> complexity -> simplicity beyond complexity. Perhaps you would consider inviting them to Faith Matters and interviewing them in follow up to Brian McLaren. Just a word to Tim and Aubrey, I also listened to your podcast on FM from “Listen, Learn and Love” with Richard Ostler. What an amazing story! What a remarkable journey! Thanks for sharing your stories and for being so authentic. Lord bless you both!

It is so refreshing to listen to really smart people talk about complicated issues...Read full review »

I can’t say enough good about this podcast. Every member of the church—active or not—should listen to it. It is intellectually honest, and addresses issues, questions, history full on, while at the same time is faith affirming, opening minded, and uplifting. Highly recommend to all.
