Spirituality For Ordinary People

Episode 19 features an interview with Erica Barthalow. Erica has been in various forms of ministry in her life, including three years as a missionary in India. She wrote a not so typical book about her experience there. It’s called Holy Doubt: Finding Hope When Faith is a Struggle.  She admits that three months into her time in India she felt abandoned by God. Some of what we talk about in the interview:What questions to ask about God: Is God good? Does God cause bad things to happen to us?Unlearning our assumptions about GodIf we follow Jesus will we always be safe?What are the stories of faith that get told?
