We have too\u2014and we\u2019re calling it out.  In this episode of Weird Hill to Die On, Mary Jo Sharp, Phoenix Hayes, and Adam Coleman take on the myth of blind faith. We dig into what Jesus actually taught about doubt, belief, and evidence\u2014and why faith doesn\u2019t mean turning off your brain.  From Thomas to TikTok clich\u00e9s, we unpack how modern Christian culture has sometimes reduced faith to a vibe check or a guilt trip. But historically? Faith was grounded in trust, testimony, and truth\u2014not vibes.  Whether you're reconstructing your own faith or trying to help a friend who\u2019s deconstructing theirs, this episode gives you permission to bring your mind to the table. Because Christianity isn\u2019t afraid of hard questions\u2014and we already made it weird.  Key Topics Discussed:  Why Jesus didn\u2019t demand blind faith from His followers What the story of Thomas actually teaches us How church clich\u00e9s can misrepresent the nature of faith The role of evidence, experience, and tradition in belief Why intellectual honesty is central to spiritual maturity How to engage faith questions without fear or pressure What it looks like to rebuild trust in God after doubt  Instagram: @weirdhillshow Facebook: facebook.com\/weirdhillshow Official Website: weirdhillshow.com Spotify: tinyurl.com\/weirdhillspotify Apple Podcasts: coming soon!  *Leave us a review\u2014it helps more weirdos find us.&amp;nbsp;  Weird Hill to Die On is a Christian podcast exploring faith, apologetics, theology, and cultural commentary, hosted by three voices navigating conviction, doubt, and spiritual formation in a chaotic world.  \ud83c\udfb5 Music licensed through Envato Elements Track: &quot;This is Funky&quot; Artist: Tonydrumer License ID: 497VL2ZNJX             ","author_name":"Weird Hill to Die On","author_url":"https:\/\/sites.libsyn.com\/574395","html":"<iframe title=\"Libsyn Player\" style=\"border: none\" src=\"\/\/html5-player.libsyn.com\/embed\/episode\/id\/36554520\/height\/90\/theme\/custom\/thumbnail\/yes\/direction\/forward\/render-playlist\/no\/custom-color\/88AA3C\/\" height=\"90\" width=\"600\" scrolling=\"no\"  allowfullscreen webkitallowfullscreen mozallowfullscreen oallowfullscreen msallowfullscreen><\/iframe>","thumbnail_url":"https:\/\/assets.libsyn.com\/secure\/item\/36554520"}
