56:59Now Playing81% of white evangelicals voted for Donald Trump in 2016—and for many lifelong churchgoers, that moment was a spiritual breaking point. In this episode, author and podcaster Erin Hicks Moon joins the show to talk about what happens when the faith you inherited no longer feels like home. Erin, co-host of Faith Adjacent and author of I’ve Got Questions: The Spiritual Practice of Having It Out with God, unpacks what it means to deconstruct, grieve spiritual loss, and stay tethered to Jesus in a time of disillusionment. With honesty and humor, she explores questions around religious trauma, purity culture, Christian nationalism, and how to find peace without pretending the damage never happened. If you’ve ever found yourself wondering whether faith can survive doubt—or whether you can still love Jesus after being hurt by his followers—this episode is for you.
