S9E3: Endlessly Knowing the Mystery

The Collective Table

Episode 3 of The Collective Table podcast is here! In today’s episode, Jenell and Jason revisit our 2021 interview with author, speaker, playwright, musician and former pastor Rob Bell. Listen as they explore the tension between doubt and conviction, and reflect on mystery, lament, and the discomfort of sitting in the unknown. Can embracing uncertainty deepen our faith? Is doubt simply a part of what it means to be human? What does it look like to seek the “answers” in a healthy way?

As you listen, we encourage you to think about these questions:

• In your life of faith, how has doubt been helpful or hurtful to you?
• Is there a mystery in your life that you’ve worked to know endlessly?
• What doubts and truths within your faith are you sitting with now?
