What happens when college students are encouraged to ask the questions they’re often told not to ask? 👀

As part of the Jude 3 Project’s ASK Initiative, students at FAMU engaged in a real, unfiltered conversation about whether Christianity can stand up to scrutiny.

As part of the Jude 3 Project’s ASK Initiative, this panel discussion at FAMU tackled some of the biggest questions facing a generation: the history of Christianity in Africa, how the gospel has been distorted, why church community still matters, and whether Jesus really offers an answer to the pain, anxiety, and spiritual hunger many people are experiencing.

The conversation gets real. The questions are tough. And the goal is simple: create space to ask, seek, and know what we believe and why we believe it.

"The next generation doesn't care about God."

That's a narrative we hear all the time. But what if it's not true?

In this episode of the Jude 3 Project Podcast, Lisa Fields sits down with Ethan, a 14-year-old apologist and Jude 3 Project intern whose passion for Jesus is challenging the assumptions many people have about Gen Z.

From wrestling with depression and suicidal thoughts to boldly sharing the gospel with his peers, Ethan shares how God has transformed his life and why he believes today's teens are asking deeper spiritual questions than many adults realize. 

Whether you're a teen or adult, if you've ever wondered...

...this conversation is for you.

This isn't just a conversation about teenagers. It's a reminder that God is still raising up bold disciples in every generation.

When we hear about pastors falling, we often focus on the scandal. But what if the warning signs were there long before the headlines?

In this eye-opening conversation, Lisa Fields sits down with author and CEO of Whole Brother Mission, Dr. Maliek Blade to unpack the complex relationship between personality disorders, emotional health, spiritual authority, and church leadership.

Together, they explore:

This conversation isn't about diagnosing people from a distance. It's about giving Christians the wisdom to recognize unhealthy leadership, protect vulnerable people, and build churches that reflect the character of Christ.

What happens when the people who helped shape your faith become the very people who wound it?

In this honest and deeply personal conversation, Lisa Fields sits down with Rev. Dr. Brianna K. Parker to discuss the reality of church hurt, leadership failures, betrayal, and the difficult question many believers are asking: Is it still worth staying?

Rather than offering easy answers, they explore what it looks like to pursue healing instead of bitterness, why social media often rewards outrage over restoration, and how to hold onto Jesus when people let you down.

Church scandals don't just make headlines—they shape how entire generations view faith, leadership, and the Church itself.

Why do older and younger Christians often respond so differently when pastors fall? What does true accountability actually look like? And can the Church pursue both justice and restoration without sacrificing either?

In this episode, Lisa Fields sits down with Dr. Cynthia James for a thoughtful conversation on the growing trust gap between generations, the impact of pastoral failures, independent accountability, trauma-informed care, and why rebuilding credibility requires more than public apologies.

Whether you've wrestled with disappointment in church leadership, wondered how restoration should work, or simply want to better understand today's conversations around faith and integrity, this episode offers wisdom, nuance, and hope.

In this honest conversation, Lisa Fields sits down with Dr. Esau McCaulley to discuss the difficult reality of fallen leaders, public scandals, and the impact they have on those who looked up to them.

Drawing from Lisa's book When Heroes Fall, they explore what Scripture teaches about accountability, grace, trauma, healing, and the danger of confusing gifting with character. Together, they wrestle with questions many believers face:

• Can someone do genuine good and still cause great harm?

This conversation offers a thoughtful framework for navigating grief, disillusionment, and healing while keeping our eyes fixed on Christ—not human heroes.
