In today’s episode, I talk with the authors of Mid-Faith Crisis, Catherine McNiel and Jason Hague. We explore the concept of mid-faith crisis, detailing the four stages of faith: inherited faith, confident faith, mid-faith, and conscious faith. Catherine and Jason share personal stories of struggle and healing, emphasizing the importance of community, authenticity, and love in each of their journey’s. We discuss if the buzzword “deconstruction” is related to any of the four stages of faith. I hope you will find comfort in this conversation that faith crises are common and that there is beauty and growth to be found even in the midst of suffering.
