Summary

Growing up in a religiously conservative home, Austin Noll had been conditioned to believe certain truths were absolute. But when he began to question these teachings, he discovered something unexpected: a greater understanding of faith, and a space to share his story with others. What he didn’t expect was the ripple effect of healing and growth it would create.

In this episode, you will be able to:

  • Explore the intricacies of growing up in the church and examine how individuals can question faith and ideologies.

  • Delve into the harmful dynamics present in Christian dating and relationships.

  • Uncover the impact of purity culture on feelings of shame and guilt.

  • Recognize the significance of critical thinking in shaping personal faith.

  • Immerse yourself in understanding the Holy Spirit’s supernatural role within Christianity.
