Lisa’s back! Join host Steve Cuss and the therapist he turns to with his own questions—his wife. They examine some of Steve’s recent conversations about the intricate dance between faith and doubt. Drawing insights from guests like Geoff and Cyd Holsclaw and Jennifer Ripley, they explore how doubt can serve as a catalyst for spiritual growth, unpack the ways childhood attachment styles influence our adult relationships with God and others, and offer practical ways the church can support those in crisis. Tune in for a conversation that promises to deepen your understanding of faith’s complexities and inspire meaningful discussions anywhere doubt tries to comingle with faith.
