Listen Later

In this episode of Bleeding Daylight, Rodney Olsen welcomes Constance Hastings, an ordained deacon and mental health counselor, who has taken an intriguing journey from teaching to ministry. Constance opens up about her personal faith struggles and shares how asking tough, often unsettling questions has shaped her spiritual journey. Her experiences have culminated in her book *The Trouble with Jesus: Considerations Before You Walk Away*, which tackles the challenging aspects of faith and the unsettling figure of Jesus in both history and modern belief.

 

During their conversation, Constance discusses the importance of grappling with doubts and the complexities of faith, especially within the context of suffering and mental health. She highlights how mental illness is often misunderstood and stigmatized, even in Christian communities, and shares her perspective on how to address these issues with compassion and faith. This episode invites listeners to explore their own spiritual questions and reconsider their understanding of faith in light of life's most difficult challenges.
