If you've wrestled with church hurt, doubt, or seasons of suffering, this conversation is for you. Pastor and author Jared Ayers joins me on The Shaun Tabatt Show to unpack his new book, You Can Trust a God with Scars: Faith (and Doubt) for the Searching Soul—a hospitable guide for seekers and longtime Christians navigating real questions.

We cover: building friendships beyond the church bubble, the rise of the "nones," honest lament in the Psalms, why scandal demands truth-telling, how the Incarnation meets us in pain, moving from combative apologetics to embodied witness, and why Christian teaching should teach, delight, and persuade (Augustine).
