BELIEF, TESTED IN PUBLIC
Faith and Friction is a place for people who believe that together is better.
Most of us learned to hide the hard parts: the doubt, the anger at a church, the prayer that went unanswered, the relationship that cracked over what we believe or support. Faith and Friction is where people can respectfully share those parts out loud, get some clarity, and possibly change someone’s life in the process.
The episodes are a mix of a real stories from people who have lived the friction, and conversations that wrestle with faith and culture. You may not find your answer. You will find someone who gets the question, and that’s usually where the next step starts, in the middle of laughter and lament.
