I was a church planter and worship leader who lost his faith, started a podcast to talk about it, and watched that show grow to more than 2 million downloads as people wrestled with the same questions alongside me.

Ten years of doubt and deconstruction led me to think Christianity was done for me. Before I closed the door completely, I decided to really look into what happened in Jerusalem almost 2,000 years ago: the Gospel writers, the rival explanations, the witnesses, the historical setting, and the case for the resurrection. I was surprised by what I found, and that eventually led me back to Jesus in a much more real way.

So I changed my podcast to Faith Lab. My wife and I bring on Christian scholars, academics, and archaeologists to help people understand the strength of the Christian story. I also built FaithPods to help other Christian podcasters connect with more people and grow their shows.
