Description

In this episode of Theology on Purpose, author Jen Pollock Michel joins us for a thoughtful conversation on the paradoxes of faith, suffering, and grace. She shares how early experiences of profound loss shaped her faith journey, the tension between effort and dependence on God, and how trying in the spiritual life is not the same as legalism. Jen also reflects on the difference between certainty and confidence, the challenge of holding firm beliefs while remaining humble, and the ongoing wrestling with grace in everyday life.

Tune in as we explore these deep theological questions and what it means to live with faith in the midst of uncertainty.
