Hi there, you're listening to the Lazy Genius Podcast. I'm Kendra Adachi and I'm

here to help you be a genius about the things that matter and lazy about the

things that don't. Today is episode 197, How to Navigate a Faith Crisis. I know

you're probably like, Kendra, we have had enough heavy topics. Please, no more.

And I feel that I also want to give some space and language around this thing

that so many people in the Christian faith are struggling through right now. And

the best person to do that with is Aaron Moon. Aaron is the resident Bible scholar

over at one of my favorite podcasts, The Bible Binge. She is a deep diver into

faith and questions and has gone through her own faith journey of sorts. She grew

up Southern Baptist and now she's Anglican and she still has questions. She has

taught me so much about faith and offers a really lovely space to ask questions

and dig deep and to still not know things we're thinking we're supposed to know.

So this conversation, it was birthed from some suggestions from you guys to

make this a podcast topic and I knew that I needed Aaron to do it. Last year in

2020, my episode with Aaron where we lazy geniused her morning routine, it was my

most downloaded episode of the year of 2020. It was hugely popular and so much

of that is due to the loveliness of Aaron and I think this episode is going to do

the same for you. So we are talking primarily about the Christian faith and

crisis within it, but we also talk about being in the life of someone who is

going through some type of deconstruction or reconstruction. And in fact, Aaron

puts some really lovely language around the word crisis in general, helping us

name what matters about this particular topic. It's just so good. And then be sure
