Episode 149: "Wandering Toward God Finding Faith Among Doubts and Big Questions" with Travis Dickinson [Part 1]

<p>"Wandering Toward God Finding Faith Among Doubts and Big Questions" with Travis Dickinson [Part 1]<br><br>When it comes to doubting your faith, there are two extremes. One is to embrace and celebrate doubt as a virtuous and infallible foundation for epistemological bliss. The other extreme is that <em>any </em>form of doubt is sin and should not ever be entertained in the mind of a believer. But what does the Bible say? What about the doubts of John the Baptist, Thomas, and the disciples?<br><br>Our guest this week and next, Professor of Philosophy at Dallas Baptist University <strong>Dr. Travis Dickinson</strong>, shares with us his insights and experiences with doubt in his new book <strong><em>Wandering Toward God - Finding Faith amid Doubts and Big Questions</em></strong> (<a href="https://uhop.me/Wandering">uhop.me/Wandering</a>).<em> </em>Travis helps doubters negotiate a wandering (but entirely biblical) path between the two extreme notions of doubt.</p><p><br><strong>Dr. Travis Dickinson</strong> (<a href="https://www.travisdickinson.com">TravisDickinson.com)</a> holds a Bible Certificate from the Wisconsin Campus of Cairn University, a Bachelor of Arts in Christian Education from Alaska Bible College, a Master of Arts in Christian Apologetics and Master of Arts in Philosophy of Religion and Ethics from Biola University.
