Before becoming one of the most influential authors of our time with over two dozen books exploring pain, doubt, grace, and hope, Philip Yancey spent years coming to terms with his strict fundamentalist upbringing. On this episode, he explains how he overcame a crisis of faith, his thoughts on the current evangelical church, and how a very recent diagnosis with a potentially debilitating illness has put his faith to the test.

Overcoming Toxic Fundamentalism with Philip Yancey

Hosted by skeptic-at-heart Eric Huffman of The Story Church, Maybe God tackles the toughest topics related to faith - from doubts of Biblical proportions, sexuality, near-death experiences, shame, and so much more. Eric invites best-selling authors, psychiatrists, scientists, renowned Christian apologists, artists, atheists, and ordinary people in extraordinary situations to address the questions we all have about life, meaning, and the purpose for our existence. Through powerful storytelling and real vulnerability, he pushes as hard against religion as he does against secularism in search of the only thing that matters: truth.

Why do so many men today seem to be in a state of confusion and low grade angst? Why do men so often feel isolated and struggle to express their loneliness? Could it be that our world has grown increasingly hostile toward masculinity? New York Times bestselling author Jefferson Bethke offers a powerful call to men everywhere to step into the light of Jesus' model of masculinity. He joins Maybe God host Eric Huffman to talk about his latest book, Fighting Shadows, co-authored by well-known pastor and author Jon Tyson.    More about Jefferson Bethke: https://jeffandalyssa.com   Learn about Family Teams from our interview with Jeremy Pryor   Head to YouTube to watch Maybe God’s full-length interviews!    Support future episodes (now accepting tax-deductible stock and crypto gifts): www.maybegodpod.com/donate    Sign up for our newsletter with exclusive content: www.maybegodpod.com    Follow Maybe God: https://instagram.com/maybegodpod  https://facebook.com/maybegodpod  

What's the Matter with Men?

Soon after 12-year-old Chloe Cole discovered transgender ideology on social media, she began telling her friends and family that she was a boy. At age 13, she began taking testosterone and puberty blockers; two years later, she underwent a double mastectomy. Almost immediately after the mastectomy, regret set in and Chloe became one of many remorseful transitioners unable to reverse the damage done to their bodies. Now, despite the vitriol and hate she faces from the transgender community, Chloe is committed to warning kids and their parents about the dangers of gender-affirming care in minors. In this episode, Chloe explains how she became involved in the transgender movement, why she ultimately decided to walk away, and how this experience led her to believe in a higher power.   Head to YouTube to watch Maybe God’s full-length interviews!    Support future episodes (now accepting tax-deductible stock and crypto gifts): www.maybegodpod.com/donate    Sign up for our newsletter with exclusive content: www.maybegodpod.com    Follow Maybe God: https://instagram.com/maybegodpod  https://facebook.com/maybegodpod 

Should We Trans Children?

Before her childhood sweetheart Jordan Peterson catapulted into the public arena, Tammy Peterson was living a relatively ordinary life. Almost overnight, their family of four became central figures in an ever-raging culture war. As if these newfound pressures were not enough, Tammy was soon diagnosed with a rare, fatal cancer. But as she shares with Maybe God guest host Justin Brierley, the very thing that aimed to end her life birthed a surprising new faith in God and conversion to Catholicism.   A special thank you to our sponsor!

Does God Leave Us Hanging?

Best-selling author and near-death experiences aficionado John Burke returns to Maybe God for a second deep dive into reported glimpses into the afterlife. In his latest book “Imagine The God of Heaven”, John details the shocking evidence that supports NDEs and discusses how people from various religious traditions all seem to encounter the same, biblical God. Also, the stories of a surgeon and a commercial airline pilot, both indifferent to the existence of God, until they were pronounced clinically dead and found themselves at the gates of heaven – and hell. What do their experiences reveal about the character of God?   Want to share your thoughts?
