I love Jesus as far back as I can remember.Īnd then as you mentioned, I spent some time in ZOEgirl traveling the country and getting to perform in amazing venues and really trying to reach young girls with this message that they can be bold with what they believe and not to shy away from speaking about Jesus in their public schools and all of that was so genuine and so real for me, but it really wasn't until ZOEgirl had come off the road, and I was married with a new baby that I was invited to be a part of an inner circle type study and discussion group at a local church.Īnd it was in the context of this very small class that the pastor who was leading the class, basically announced to us that he was an agnostic and he called himself a hopeful agnostic. They read their Bibles with us, just all kinds of just really organic Christian life, feeding the homeless and doing street ministry.Īnd so I had a fairly good experience with Christianity growing up and I think that might be why I never had a good reason to doubt what I believed about God and Jesus. I regularly saw my parents reading their Bibles. Would you share the crisis of faith that kind of motivated the story behind this book?Īlisa Childers: Yeah, so I grew up in a Christian home with wonderful Christian parents who really gave me a holistic faith. Sean McDowell: Let me start by asking, this book is kind of centered on your crisis of faith from being a worship leader in the church, and then all of a sudden, really doubting your faith kind of drives this book. Alisa, thanks so much for coming on.Īlisa Childers: Hey guys, thanks for having me. A lifelong Christian seeks truth in response to progressive Christianity.
