Faith Explained

Do feelings matter in the Christian life, or are they something we’re supposed to ignore?In this episode of Faith Explained, we take a deeper theological look at experience and its role in Christian faith. Rather than treating feelings as either the enemy of faith or its highest authority, this episode explores why experience must be interpreted, formed, and discerned.We examine how modern Christianity often mistakes emotional intensity for spiritual encounter, why feelings are real but unreliable as guides to truth, and how Scripture, tradition, and formation help us understand where experience fits and where it doesn’t. This episode also addresses why seasons of dryness, silence, or emotional absence are not signs of spiritual failure, but are often part of deepening faith.This conversation is for anyone who has felt pressure to feel God in order to trust Him, or who has been confused by an emotionalized version of Christianity that equates faith with intensity rather than faithfulness.

What do Christians actually mean when they talk about faith?In this episode of Faith Explained, we move beyond the idea that faith is blind belief, positive thinking, or emotional certainty. Instead, we explore faith as Scripture presents it: trustful allegiance rooted in relationship, not ignorance.This episode examines why faith is not opposed to reason, why doubt and struggle do not cancel faith, and why Christian faith is less about having all the answers and more about placing your life in the hands of a faithful God. We’ll look at how faith is lived, sustained, and formed over time, and why faith that survives uncertainty is often stronger than faith built on clarity alone.This is an episode for anyone who has felt confused, exhausted, or disillusioned by shallow definitions of faith and is looking for something more honest, resilient, and rooted in the way of Jesus.
