Becoming Christian

Soren Kierkegaard argues that faith is never something we get beyond--we're always in the process of becoming. We're always \"on the way\". This podcast is a place to explore what it means to have faith in the contemporary world. As more and more people move away from institutionalized religion, the response of some in Christian circles is to double down on doctrine and morality. I guess they think if they can get rid of doubt, and maintain some type of certainty, people might stick around. I'm not convinced that's what Christian faith has ever been about. Give these episodes a listen, comment, and hopefully the conversation can be helpful as we make our way through life.
