Podcasts about crisis of faith

"Carrie, I never knew that affected you..."These were the words spoken to Carrie when she confronted her abuser years after the sexual abuse happened in her own home.In today's episode of the Shine with Frannie Show, I sit down with author, podcaster, and coach Carrie Watts to discuss healing, redemption, and the transformative power of sharing your story. In this powerful and deeply moving episode, Carrie opens up about her personal journey through trauma and sexual abuse--which happens to 1:4 women and 1:10 men--and the process of confronting painful wounds while learning to trust Jesus in deeper and more intimate ways.Her newest book, Crisis of Faith, takes the heart of her personal memoir and reimagines it through fiction for young girls ages 13–15, creating a message of hope, healing, courage, and identity for the next generation.At the center of Carrie's mission is this truth: no matter what a girl faces, nothing is impossible with God on her side. Through faith, supportive community, and healing conversations, girls and women alike can rise above their pain and step into the purpose God has for their lives.In this episode, we discuss:The health benefits of journaling as powerful tools for healing, intimacy with God, and personal breakthroughHow unresolved trauma and hidden wounds can create a “crisis of faith”—and what true healing actually looks likeThe deeper message behind Crisis of Faith and why Carrie believes this generation of girls desperately needs hope-filled stories rooted in biblical truthIf you've ever wrestled with pain, questioned God in your suffering, or wondered if your story could ever be redeemed, this conversation will encourage you to keep healing, keep trusting, and keep moving forward in faith.ABOUT CARRIE:Carrie Watts is an author, speaker, and host of the Saved and Strong podcast.

In this episode of Vestiges After Dark, Bishop Bryan Ouellette examines the growing public conversation surrounding UFO/UAP disclosure, newly released government materials, and the possible spiritual consequences of broader public transparency. The discussion explores reports that some religious leaders may have been quietly encouraged to prepare their congregations for potential cultural and theological fallout connected to future disclosures.Rather than approaching the subject through sensationalism, the episode focuses on how Christianity historically responds to uncertainty, fear, and disruptive ideas.Topics include wild claims that the phenomenon could represent demonic deception, theories involving psychological or governmental manipulation, and the broader question of whether the existence of non-human intelligence would fundamentally challenge Christian belief at all.Through theology, philosophy, and critical analysis, Bishop Bryan offers a grounded discussion on how people of faith can navigate extraordinary claims without abandoning discernment, reason, or spiritual stability.To call into the show with your questions, comments, or stories, dial: (207) 544-1983.

Ezra Klein of the New York Times recently released a podcast about liberalism in crisis. In a surprisingly insightful moment, Klein recognized that liberalism was failing because it had been severed from its traditions, but Klein spent the rest of the episode explaining why he hates so many of the people who founded those traditions. We'll dive in and analyze why this inability to reconcile the past with the goals of the current progressive movement will ultimately doom the Left.

Everyone hits moments where what they believe gets shaken—by pain, questions, or something they hear. This message is about what to do when that happens, and how to rebuild something real instead of walking away or staying stuck in doubt forever.

In this text we find two disciples walking on the Road to Emmaus. Both appear to be struggling with a crisis of their faith. What we learn from that day may help us in our own crises. This message was delivered on April 19, 2026 at Amity UCC in Meyersdale PA. Text: Luke 24:13-35

Send us Fan Mail(REPRISE) Ken welcomes back to the podcast the originator of the hashtag that launched a movement: #exvangelical, Blake Chastain. They discuss his new book, Exvangelical and Beyond: How American Christianity Went Radical and the Movement Fighting Back. An undergraduate at an evangelical university in Central Indiana, Blake had questions - about the Bible, the exclusive truth claims, the identification with conservative politics, the indifference to Earth care, to race, to social justice, and finally, the full-on embrace of MAGA Trumpism. It was a crisis of faith. When his hashtag went viral, CBS called him for a life-changing interview. Blake started The Exvangelical Podcast. In a wide-ranging conversation, Ken and Blake explore the history of evangelicalism and the contributing factors that have led to the evangelicalism we know today.

Passage: Genesis 12:10-20Speaker: Daniel Chan

In one of the most important books published in 2025—Dilemmas of Authenticity: The American Muslim Crisis of Faith, published by UNC Press—Zaid Adhami explores questions of religious doubt, authenticity, and crisis of faith. The book examines what many American Muslims describe as a crisis of faith, but Adhami shows that this crisis is less about losing belief and more about the pressures of authenticity. In a cultural moment where people are expected to be true to themselves and to believe sincerely, faith becomes something that must feel emotionally real and personally chosen. Drawing on ethnographic research and intimate conversations with American Muslims, Adhami shows how this demand for authenticity can produce doubt and anxiety, while also becoming a powerful ground for recommitment to tradition. The book challenges familiar narratives of secularization and religious decline, and instead offers a nuanced account of how faith is lived, questioned, and sustained in an age that privileges “authenticity.” The book would be of tremendous benefit to scholars and students of religion, anthropology, sociology, and American studies, as well as to those working on Islam in the United States. It will also resonate with scholars, students, and anyone who has tried to make sense of the complicated relationship between doubt, authenticity, and faith in contemporary American society.

The consecration of the Basilica of St. John Lateran, originally dedicated to Christ the Savior, was first celebrated on November 9, 324 AD by Pope Sylvester I. For over 1,700 hears, this church has stood as a symbol of the Catholic Faith and the home of many historical events, including five ecumenical councils. St. John Lateran's symbolic value may be more important now than ever as the Church remains beset by modernism and a crisis of faith. This unsettling state of affairs can be seen once again in the Dicastery for the Doctrine of the Faith's recent rejection, in the name of ecumenism, of certain traditional titles for the Blessed Virgin Mary.

For today's sermon, we welcome a very special guest speaker, Ramona Johnson, as she shares her amazing story of despair and redemption. Ramona has just released a book called "I'm Living Proof," and a documentary is being made about her life. She wanted our church -- her church -- to be the first stop on her book tour and to be the first to hear her full story. Today we celebrate the amazing work God's been doing in Ramona's life and the wonderful calling God has given her!

Fresh off a wild two days at Revive Fest (complete with rainy weather, bubble machines, and listeners bearing gifts of zebra cakes), Marc & Fuller take a different approach in this episode by answering personal questions their community has been asking. What starts as lighthearted banter about coffee preferences and boxing matches quickly transitions into deeper territory as they tackle one of the most vulnerable questions they've received: what almost made them leave Christianity? The conversation gets particularly raw as they discuss the struggle of watching genuinely moral people from other faiths and wondering about their eternal destiny. Between missing turns in the dark Michigan countryside, getting pulled over (for a license plate light, not drunk driving!), and dealing with shot voices from two days of ministry, Marc & Fuller manage to have one of their most honest conversations yet about doubt, other religions, and what keeps them anchored in their faith when everything else feels uncertain.   // Helpful Links // https://www.youtube.com/@realtalkchristianpodcast The Christian Standard Bible: https://csbible.com Lifeway Christian Resources: www.lifeway.com Got Questions?: www.gotquestions.org Dwell Bible App: https://dwellapp.io Cross Formed Kids from Ryan Coatney: https://www.crossformedkids.com RTC Quick Links: https://linktr.ee/realtalkchristianpodcast RTC Online: www.realtalkchristianpodcast.com Twin Valley Coffee:  https://www.coffeehelpingmissions.com Revive festival : Music Festival | En Gedi Music Fest | Leonidas, MI (myrevivefest.com) Toccoa Coffee:https://toccoacoffee.com RTC Merch-https://rtcpodcast.redbubble.com Let Them Live: https://letthemlive.org

The story of the father and his epileptic son recorded in the Gospel of Mark, Chapter Nine, verses 14 - 29, is repeated in the Gospels of Matthew and Luke.  This riveting account reminds us that we are not strong all the time but even when we struggle, little faith in a crisis can produce great blessing.  

Message preached by Ryan Roy on Sunday, August 3, 2025 PM.

The Book of PsalmsPsalm 73Psalm 73 takes us on a journey from envy to awe, as Asaph wrestles with the prosperity of the wicked and the apparent unfairness of life, only to have his perspective transformed in the presence of God. His story powerfully illustrates the truth that envy looks outward and leaves us empty, but worship looks upward and makes us whole—reminding us that the nearness of God is our true and lasting good.Sermon Preached by Chris Gannon on August 3, 2025Foothill Church exists to glorify God by living as disciples of Jesus who make disciples of Jesus. https://foothill.church Learn about our For the Sake of His Name 2-Year Discipleship Journey: https://foothill.church/FTSOHN

He said to the woman, “Did God really say, ‘You must not eat from any tree in the garden'?” The woman said to the serpent, “We may eat fruit from the trees in the garden, but God did say, ‘You must not eat fruit from the tree that is in the middle of the garden, and you must not touch it, or you will die.'” “You will not certainly die,” the serpent said to the woman. “For God knows that when you eat from it your eyes will be opened, and you will be like God, knowing good and evil.”When the woman saw that the fruit of the tree was good for food and pleasing to the eye, and also desirable for gaining wisdom, she took some and ate it. She also gave some to her husband, who was with her, and he ate it.”

Crisis of Faith:  A crisis of faith is a deeply personal and often painful experience where a believer struggles with doubts about God, His goodness, or their beliefs. While it can feel like spiritual darkness, it is not uncommon—many strong Christians have faced seasons of questioning and uncertainty. 1. Understanding a Crisis of Faith A crisis of faith can be triggered by: Personal suffering – Loss, illness, unanswered prayers, or hardships can make God seem distant. Unfulfilled expectations – When life doesn't go as planned, we may question God's promises. Intellectual doubts – Questions about theology, science, or the problem of evil can shake one's faith. Hypocrisy or church hurt – Seeing failures in Christian leaders or experiencing hurt from believers can create disillusionment. Even biblical figures like Job, David, Elijah, and Thomas wrestled with doubts, yet God remained faithful to them. 2. How to Navigate a Crisis of Faith Bring Your Doubts to God – God isn't afraid of our questions. The Psalms are full of raw prayers where David expresses his struggles (Psalm 13:1-2). Stay in the Word – Even when faith feels weak, continuing to read Scripture allows truth to anchor your heart. Romans 10:17 reminds us that "faith comes by hearing, and hearing by the Word of God." Surround Yourself with Godly Community – Isolation deepens doubt, but wise counsel and fellowship can bring clarity (Proverbs 11:14). Seek God, Not Just Answers – Sometimes, we want explanations when God invites us into deeper trust (Proverbs 3:5-6). Faith grows not by having all the answers but by leaning into God despite uncertainty. Remember Past Faithfulness – Reflecting on what God has done in the past can remind us of His faithfulness even in the present storm. 3. The Outcome: Strengthened, Not Destroyed A crisis of faith does not mean the end of faith—it can be a refining process. James 1:2-4 tells us that trials develop perseverance and maturity. Even Jesus, on the cross, cried out, "My God, my God, why have You forsaken Me?" (Matthew 27:46). Yet, in the resurrection, we see that doubt and despair are never the final word.  

Lately, I've been questioning everything—what faith even means, if I've been forcing things that weren't meant for me, and why so much of what I thought was “right” ended up being so hard. In this episode of The Cozy Babes Club, I'm sitting down for a raw and unfiltered chat about my current crisis of faith, the struggles that led me here, and why I'm finally letting go of control. If you've ever felt lost, spiritually confused, or like you're grieving the version of yourself that thought they had it all figured out—this one's for you. Let's talk.

Comedian Ari Shaffir (America's Sweetheart, JEW) joins Rainn Wilson for an unfiltered conversation about faith, comedy, and mental health. Known for his no-holds-barred stand-up, Ari shares his journey from being an Orthodox Jewish yeshiva student to an outspoken atheist. They dive into his personal battle with depression, how psychedelics shifted his perspective on existence, and why he believes the concept of a soul is a mystery. Plus, Rainn and Ari debate whether religion is a force for good—or just another human-made construct. Ari hosts The Skeptic Tank podcast and his latest Netflix special America's Sweetheart tackles taboo topics with his signature irreverence, following up his previous special YouTube special 'JEW,' which explored his Orthodox upbringing and departure from faith.
