Native Exiles

Faith in the Midst of Doubt: An Interview with Steve Brooks


Listen Later

In this deeply personal episode, Steve Brooks, one of the regular hosts on Native Exiles, opens up about his struggle with religious OCD and the profound doubts he faced regarding his salvation, despite growing up in a strong Christian family. Steve takes us through his journey of wrestling with fear and uncertainty, which first surfaced while living internationally in Taiwan. He shares the emotional toll of trying to find peace through unhelpful solutions, and how God's intervention, through both books and a reimagining of his faith, eventually reframed his understanding of assurance. This raw and honest conversation offers insight into the complexities of faith, mental health, and the grace that brings clarity amidst confusion.

 

Native Exiles is a podcast from Alderwood Community Church. In it, we discuss following Jesus in the tension of being in the world but not of it. We want to help you think through how to walk with Jesus in a world that seems to be moving in the opposite direction. We want to equip you to engage the world without disengaging from Jesus.
