How to Question Faith Without Losing It with Dr. A.J. Swoboda
A. J Swoboda joins us today on the Finding Something REAL podcast! He shares a bit about his faith journey, his ministry, and what it means to be an academic. He shares about his book Over Doubt, why young people desire to break rules, and the tenancy humans have to be over-curious. They talk about how pharisaical rules may sometimes get in the way of someone’s spiritual journey, deconstruction and searching for God when you are not sure you want to look for Him, and a lot more! We hope you enjoy this episode!
