Maybe God With Eric Huffman

Why do so many men today seem to be in a state of confusion and low grade angst? Why do men so often feel isolated and struggle to express their loneliness? Could it be that our world has grown increasingly hostile toward masculinity? New York Times bestselling author Jefferson Bethke offers a powerful call to men everywhere to step into the light of Jesus' model of masculinity. He joins Maybe God host Eric Huffman to talk about his latest book, Fighting Shadows, co-authored by well-known pastor and author Jon Tyson.    More about Jefferson Bethke: https://jeffandalyssa.com   Learn about Family Teams from our interview with Jeremy Pryor   Head to YouTube to watch Maybe God’s full-length interviews!    Support future episodes (now accepting tax-deductible stock and crypto gifts): www.maybegodpod.com/donate    Sign up for our newsletter with exclusive content: www.maybegodpod.com    Follow Maybe God: https://instagram.com/maybegodpod  https://facebook.com/maybegodpod  

Soon after 12-year-old Chloe Cole discovered transgender ideology on social media, she began telling her friends and family that she was a boy. At age 13, she began taking testosterone and puberty blockers; two years later, she underwent a double mastectomy. Almost immediately after the mastectomy, regret set in and Chloe became one of many remorseful transitioners unable to reverse the damage done to their bodies. Now, despite the vitriol and hate she faces from the transgender community, Chloe is committed to warning kids and their parents about the dangers of gender-affirming care in minors. In this episode, Chloe explains how she became involved in the transgender movement, why she ultimately decided to walk away, and how this experience led her to believe in a higher power.   Head to YouTube to watch Maybe God’s full-length interviews!    Support future episodes (now accepting tax-deductible stock and crypto gifts): www.maybegodpod.com/donate    Sign up for our newsletter with exclusive content: www.mayb

In his latest book “Imagine The God of Heaven”, John details the shocking evidence that supports NDEs and discusses how people from various religious traditions all seem to encounter the same, biblical God. Also, the stories of a surgeon and a commercial airline pilot, both indifferent to the existence of God, until they were pronounced clinically dead and found themselves at the gates of heaven – and hell.

Those who argue in favor of the death penalty often emphasize capital punishment as a means of justice for victims and their families. But what if those impacted by the crimes in question desire a different kind of justice? Rev. Sharon Risher, daughter of one of the nine churchgoers slain in the 2015 hate crime at Emanuel AME Church, is one of those people. In part one of this series, we hear Sharon’s reasons for forgiving her mother’s killer, even though he’s shown no remorse for his heinous crime. We also hear from Christian anti-death penalty activist Shane Claiborne, who offers a theological exploration of redemption.   Want to share your thoughts?

After surviving an abusive childhood and struggling to stay sober and out of trouble as a young man, Randy's determined work ethic and signature baritone voice propelled his meteoric rise to superstardom.

Having suffered childhood sexual abuse at the hands of a family member, 13-year-old Vesper Stamper was hungry for a sense of control. An answer was seemingly found in wicca, transcendental meditation, and other occult practices; but after her first experience of astral projection, Vesper became plagued by a dark spiritual oppression that only conversion and exorcism could lift. Decades later, the celebrated author and illustrator reflects upon the suffering that led to her experimentation, as well as the pain that has persisted years into her Christian walk. For the very first time, Vesper publicly discusses her recent health diagnosis, the despair she’s battled in the wake of the October 7th attacks, and the surprising companion she’s found in Christ.   Vesper’s illustrations, books, and podcast: https://www.vesperillustration.com/    Watch this interview: youtube.com/maybegodpodcast   Support future episodes (now accepting tax-deductible stock and crypto gifts): www.maybegodpod.com/donate    Sign up for our

Three years ago, Maybe God shared one of the most chilling and troubling cases of wrongful accusation you’ll ever hear. It’s the heartbreaking, gut-wrenching story of two young people in love who fought for justice against all odds, and found God along the way. Greg and Gaebri Kelley’s story offers us something we all desperately need right now: hope. Hope that injustice and evil won’t have the last word. Hope that the truth still sets us free and that love still casts out fear.    Support Greg Kelley’s business: https://www.tomahawktargetsatx.com/   Watch “Outcry” on Showtime: https://www.sho.com/outcry   Watch Greg Kelley’s most recent interview with Eric Huffman: youtube.com/maybegodpodcast   Support future episodes (now accepting tax-deductible stock and crypto gifts): www.maybegodpod.com/donate    Sign up for our weekly newsletter with exclusive content: www.maybegodpod.com    Follow Maybe God on Instagram and Facebook: @maybegodpod

CJ Kirk has been doing martial arts for 30 years and is a 4th-degree black belt in Krav Maga. But it’s not his physical prowess that makes CJ such a great man – it’s his heart. If you’re a long-time Maybe God listener, you’ve been hearing about CJ since 2019 when we first featured the powerful story of Meredith Kirk, the young woman he adopted when she was in her early 20s. Today, we’re hearing what compelled him to pursue a father-daughter relationship with a grown woman who insisted that she wasn’t looking for a father and how that same persistence drives his mentorship of men on the hunt for purpose and hope.   Conquer Culture: https://conquerculture.com/   Meredith’s Story: https://www.maybegodpod.com/maybe-god-episode-63-why-can't-i-find-my-missing-piece   Watch this interview: youtube.com/maybegodpodcast   Support future episodes (now accepting tax-deductible stock and crypto gifts): www.maybegodpod.com/donate    Sign up for our weekly newsletter with exclusive content: www.maybegodpod.com    Follow Ma

According to anti-death penalty activist and author Shane Claiborne, American Christians have long been beholden to a hyper-punitive model of justice that favors the wealthy, white, and well-connected. But as he details in this episode, many within the church are awakening to a radically new vision of justice that opposes the death penalty not in spite of the Christian faith, but because of it. Central to this vision is the crucifixion of Christ – a bloody sacrifice that many consider to be the execution to end all executions.   Shane’s website: http://executinggrace.com/   Death Penalty Information Center: https://deathpenaltyinfo.org/   Death Penalty Action: https://deathpenaltyaction.org/   Watch this video: youtube.com/maybegodpodcast   Donate to future episodes: www.maybegodpod.com/donate    Sign up for our weekly newsletter with exclusive content: www.maybegodpod.com    Follow Maybe God on Instagram and Facebook: @maybegodpod

How should Christians respond when the world opposes and even mocks our Christian convictions? How can we overcome the pressure to keep quiet about Christ and the Bible? In this episode, Maybe God host Eric Huffman explains why modern, secular remedies for our pain fail in comparison to the biblically prescribed remedies of community and prayer. According to him, the key to managing our suffering is God – and when we invite God in, He is quick to reshape our perspective, helping us tell a better, more hopeful story about our pain.   Watch this video: youtube.com/maybegodpodcast   Donate to future episodes: www.maybegodpod.com/donate    Sign up for our weekly newsletter with exclusive content: www.maybegodpod.com    Follow Maybe God on Instagram and Facebook: @maybegodpod
