WELCOME TO THE JOURNEY CHURCH ONLINE! We are so excited to connect with you this week! We pray you are blessed & that you find a place to belong here in our community. In this episode, we're joined by Student Pastor Marcus Herbert from Vista Community Church, who shares about "Stress, Anxiety, and Faith." We dive deep into the role of a church and how, when we turn to Christ, we trust that God will take care of all our needs. We look at Matt 6:25-34 and Christs take on worry, encouraging us to not worry about your basic needs but trust that God will surely care for you. We examine how faith and complete trust in God's plan can lead to greater peace.

Austin is a pastor at Vista Community Church in Texas and identifies as Young, Restless, and No Longer Reformed. He is also the author of the challenging and enjoyable book Faith in the Shadows: Finding Christ in the Midst of Doubt at IVP. We talk about a number of ways that doubt can manifest and how we respond, and while we may not agree on everything, our conversation was highly enjoyable and we hope you feel the same way!

Despite the fact that God has created the natural work and ways that we can learn about it, there sometimes appears to be an aversion to science and scientific fact within some faith communities. We are troubled when science does not fit a particular narrative of faith that we may have taken as truth. But is science and faith do not have to be in opposition. Science can give credence to what we believe in God and doesn't have to stand in opposition to faith. This week, Jason and Warren are joined by two guests who work in science and live by faith. They talk about how science and faith work together and enhance each other in their lives.Dr. Terry Rascoe is a family Physician and formerly the Vice Chair of Dept. Family Medicine at Baylor Scott and White Hospital in Temple, TX. He has 30 years in primary care medicine and currently serves as the Chair of the Department of Telemedicine at Baylor Scott & White. He has been a member of The Vine Church in Temple for many years, and he currently serves the church as an elder.Dr. Giuli Krug is the founding program director of the Master of Science in Occupational Therapy program at the University of Mary Hardin-Baylor in Belton, TX. She previously taught occupational therapy at the University of Missouri – Columbia for several years before coming to UMHB in 2017. Giuli attends The Vista Community Church in Temple. She is married and has three young adult children.

I feel empowered when I take responsibility for my success ...but I'm supposed to give the glory to God. I have big goals and I want to pursue my impossible dreams ...but I'm supposed to follow God's plan, not mine If I "should" myself I cause my own suffering ...but God says there IS a way I should live Austin Fischer, author of Faith in the Shadows and Pastor at The Vista Community Church, offers insight into the tensions that Christian Thrivers tend to live in

  "Doubt is only a problem if certainty is the expectation."—Austin Fischer   Episode 70 of Spirituality for Ordinary People features an interview with Austin Fischer. Austin is the Teaching Pastor at Vista Community Church. His latest book is called Faith in the Shadows: Finding Christ in the Midst of Doubt   Key Learnings   Everyone has doubts.   "The problem of evil" is a cold, rational way to talk about our doubts around the pain and suffering in the world. When we face real suffering it brings a crisis, because we have trouble squaring a God of infinite goodness with the amount of evil in the world.   Moving away from faith often happens because we hear nothing from God for very long periods of time. This may be more a perceived "hearing nothing" than what God is really up to.   Modern Science can still pose problems for Christians. Augustine is a great source to go to for how we understand the relationship between faith and science. He noted that when science and scripture appear to be in conflict, then the best thing is to go back to scripture and ask whether a literal reading is required.   Fundamentalism or rigid biblical literalism may in fact approach scripture in a more "scientific" way. It began a few hundred years after the Reformation and its roots may lie in an attempt to apply the scientific method and a search for accuracy to interpreting Scripture.   "The gravest threat to modern Christianity is neither fundamentalism nor science, but stuff!"   Love is the ultimate remedy for doubt.   Things to Think About   What are your own doubts? What crisis is being caused for you? What might you need to re-examine?   Will you "just think about your crisis of faith" or will you give away more of your stuff, serve the poor and needy?   Spiritual Practices Discussed in this Episode   Giving   Fixed prayer times throughout the day   "Praying with your eyes open"   Sabbath   Links and Resources:   Austin Fischer's Website Faith in the Shadows: Finding Christ in the Midst of Doubt Unbelievable - The Debate mentioned by Austin in the Interview   Join others in contributing financially to help pay for hosting and equipment costs.    Follow Spirituality for Ordinary People on Instagram   Subscribe: iTunes | Stitcher | TuneIn Radio | Google Play  

The intersection of faith and doubt is viewed either as a badge of honor for some Christians but for others, doubt has no place. In his new book, 'Faith in the Shadows:Finding Christ in the Midst of Doubt,' pastor and author Austin Fischer explores this intersection, drawing on his own experience as a doubting pastor.https://www.ivpress.com/faith-in-the-shadowsAustin Fischer is the Teaching Pastor at Vista Community Church.

Episode Transcript Too often, our honest questions about faith are met with cold confidence and easy answers. But false certitude doesn't result in strong faith—it results in disillusionment, or worse, in a dogmatic, overweening faith unable to see itself or its object clearly.

My guest is Austin Fischer. Too often, our honest questions about faith are met with cold confidence and easy answers. But false certitude doesn't result in strong faith—it results in disillusionment, or worse, in a dogmatic, overweening faith unable to see itself or its object clearly. Even as a pastor, Austin Fischer has experienced the shadows of doubt and disillusionment. In Faith in the Shadows (https://www.amazon.com/Faith-Shadows-Finding-Christ-Midst/dp/0830845437), he leans into perennial questions about Christianity with raw and fearless integrity. He addresses contemporary science, the problem of evil, hell, God's silence, and other issues, offering not only fresh treatments of these questions but also a fresh paradigm for thinking about doubt itself. Doubt, Fischer contends, is no reason to leave the faith. Instead, it's an invitation to a more honest faith—a faith that's not in control, but that trusts more fully in its Lord. Austin Fischer is the lead pastor at Vista Community Church in Temple, Texas, and the author of Young, Restless, No Longer Reformed. Special Guest: Austin Fischer.
