Summary

This is a preview, listen to the full bonus episode here: https://www.patreon.com/posts/148177291 Faith usually doesn’t disappear all at once. It tends to erode slowly when questions feel unsafe or when certainty is treated as a requirement. In this bonus episode, Nate reflects on the first two episodes of Faith Lab: Deconstruction Led Me Back to Christianity. Faith Isn't Supposed to be Blind with Shane Rosenthal Nate responds to an idea from Shane Rosenthal that reshaped how he thinks about faith as trust rather than certainty. He shares how that shift helped him make sense of deconstruction, answers a couple listener questions about the direction of the show, and reads a listener story that captures what it feels like to find faith again through honesty and time. This episode is a quiet reflection on rebuilding trust without pretending and following questions without fear. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

0:50.0

I think one thing I've been reflecting on is that faith doesn't usually disappear for someone

0:56.2

all at one time. It most of the time erodes slowly over time. It's when questions, you know,

1:04.2

it doesn't feel safe to ask a question or you're supposed to have certainty. It feels like it's

1:09.4

demanded that you have certainty or maybe when the version of

1:12.9

faith that we're handed can't survive real life.

Like it doesn't work when we actually try to try to use it.

that have surfaced after the first
