In this second installment, Eric addresses the increasing demand for Christians to compromise long-held beliefs in the name of "inclusivity." In his quest to embrace both truth and love, Eric provides answers to our generation's most common questions surrounding the limits of inclusivity, the exclusivity of the Gospel's claims, and what this means for our ability to affirm all religions.

Ep 98What is Truth?

In a recent sermon at The Story Church, Maybe God Podcast host Eric Huffman answered one of the most profound questions people are asking about the Christian faith today: What is 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.

Ep 95Should We Trans Children?

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.

Ep 90How Worried Should Parents Be? (Featuring Sissy Goff)

Between school shootings, online predators, bullying, and the raging culture war, it's hard not to worry about our children.

Ep 89Who Would Jesus Execute? (Part One)

E

Those who argue in favor of the death penalty often emphasize capital punishment as a means of justice for victims and their families. But what if those impacted by the crimes in question desire a different kind of justice? Rev. Sharon Risher, daughter of one of the nine churchgoers slain in the 2015 hate crime at Emanuel AME Church, is one of those people. In part one of this series, we hear Sharon's reasons for forgiving her mother's killer, even though he's shown no remorse for his heinous crime. We also hear from Christian anti-death penalty activist Shane Claiborne, who offers a theological exploration of redemption. Want to share your thoughts? Send an email to [email protected]!

Ep 88Can Survivors Change the World?

Annie Alaniz's world was confined to a poor, rural village in Malawi with limited healthcare and education, until a medical missionary from Texas recognized her potential to reshape the future of her entire community. Thomas Keown's childhood was marked by a bloody 30-year conflict in Northern Ireland, which sparked a fire in him to give voice to other survivors all over the world. Together, Annie and Thomas are rescuing children from poverty, slavery, and trafficking, begging the question: why does God love to call seemingly insignificant people to accomplish the most significant things?

Replay: Why Trust God When Life Feels Like a Country Song? (feat. Randy Travis)

Randy Travis overcame all odds to become a country music legend, but few people know the whole story. After surviving an abusive childhood and struggling to stay sober and out of trouble as a young man, Randy's determined work ethic and signature baritone voice propelled his meteoric rise to superstardom. In the years that followed, however, his life slowly fell apart, and in 2013, he suffered a stroke that took away his ability to speak, sing, and walk. In this 2020 episode, we ask Randy and Mary Travis how it's possible to keep trusting God when your life feels like a country music song.

Ep 85From New Age to Orthodox Christianity with Vesper Stamper

E

Having suffered childhood sexual abuse at the hands of a family member, 13-year-old Vesper Stamper was hungry for a sense of control. An answer was seemingly found in wicca, transcendental meditation, and other occult practices; but after her first experience of astral projection, Vesper became plagued by a dark spiritual oppression that only conversion and exorcism could lift. Decades later, the celebrated author and illustrator reflects upon the suffering that led to her experimentation, as well as the pain that has persisted years into her Christian walk. For the very first time, Vesper publicly discusses her recent health diagnosis, the despair she's battled in the wake of the October 7th attacks, and the surprising companion she's found in Christ.

CJ Kirk has been doing martial arts for 30 years and is a 4th-degree black belt in Krav Maga. But it's not his physical prowess that makes CJ such a great man – it's his heart. If you're a long-time Maybe God listener, you've been hearing about CJ since 2019 when we first featured the powerful story of Meredith Kirk, the young woman he adopted when she was in her early 20s. Today, we're hearing what compelled him to pursue a father-daughter relationship with a grown woman who insisted that she wasn't looking for a father and how that same persistence drives his mentorship of men on the hunt for purpose and hope.

Ep 81The Biblical Case Against the Death Penalty with Shane Claiborne

According to anti-death penalty activist and author Shane Claiborne, American Christians have long been beholden to a hyper-punitive model of justice that favors the wealthy, white, and well-connected. But as he details in this episode, many within the church are awakening to a radically new vision of justice that opposes the death penalty not in spite of the Christian faith, but because of it. Central to this vision is the crucifixion of Christ – a bloody sacrifice that many consider to be the execution to end all executions.

Ep 80Overcoming Fear Through Prayer with Eric Huffman

How should Christians respond when the world opposes and even mocks our Christian convictions? How can we overcome the pressure to keep quiet about Christ and the Bible? In this episode, Maybe God host Eric Huffman explains why modern, secular remedies for our pain fail in comparison to the biblically prescribed remedies of community and prayer. According to him, the key to managing our suffering is God – and when we invite God in, He is quick to reshape our perspective, helping us tell a better, more hopeful story about our pain.

Ep 77Discerning Prophetic Promises with Mia Fieldes

After years of battling disappointment in dating, Grammy-nominated songwriter Mia Fieldes began to expect mediocrity. But in her mid-30s, she felt God call her into a new mindset of radical hope. To her surprise, God rooted this hope in the promise of a soon-to-be-revealed, "custom-made" husband. Not only did God fulfill this promise, but He has since made other promises – all of which have seemed impossible and all of which have nevertheless come to pass.

In 2018, the Maybe God team flew to L.A. to speak with Debra Hirsch, author of "Redeeming Sex: Naked Conversations about Sexuality and Spirituality". Deb tells the unbelievable story of finding her way to Jesus through her imprisoned drug dealer in Australia and addresses the overwhelming need in our society (and churches) to have deeper conversations about sex.

E

A replay of a popular 2019 episode where Gossip Girl actress Zuzanna Szadkowski and world-famous psychologist Barry Schwartz helped us understand what's wrong with the modern dating world. Most of us grew up being told that one day we'll find The One, get married, have babies, and grow old together. It's a formula that seems to have served past generations well, so as we came of age, the search was on. And we liked our chances because, thanks to dating apps like Tinder, we have more options at our fingertips than any generation before us. Still, fewer young adults than ever are walking the aisle, and for the first time in America's history, single adults outnumber married ones. In this episode, we explore the wild world of online dating, which empowers singles to accept or reject hundreds of potential mates an hour without ever really seeing them, and we ask the question: with all these choices, why aren't more people finding The One?

Ep 71How a Secular Jew Found Faith in Christ with Andrew Klavan

No one was more surprised than bestselling crime novelist and Edgar Award-winner Andrew Klavan when, at the age of fifty, he found himself about to be baptized. Born into a secular Jewish family outside of New York City, he grew into an alienated young writer whose disconnection and rage devolved into depression and suicidal breakdown. Searching for truth in the aftermath, he started to pray, almost experimentally, and the result was a relationship with the Messiah he'd been taught most of his life to reject.

Ep 70Unmasking Secular Views of Abortion, Transgenderism, and Hookup Culture with Prof. Nancy Pearcey

Professor Nancy Pearcey, bestselling author of Love Thy Body, reveals why she believes the secular view of human life and flourishing is contrary to nature itself and doesn't deliver on its promise to value life or promote well-being. In this episode, she tackles issues like abortion, euthanasia, transgenderism, homosexuality, hookup culture and pornography. Plus, why Prof. Pearcey believes her latest book on masculinity has become her most controversial to date. Nancy Pearcey is the author of The Toxic War on Masculinity: How Christianity Reconciles the Sexes, as well as Love Thy Body, The Soul of Science, Saving Leonardo, Finding Truth, and Total Truth. She is professor and scholar in residence at Houston Christian University.

Ep 22Replay: Can Loving "Illegals" Save Our Souls? (Part Two)

A replay of the popular 2019 episode that inspired Maybe God's award-winning documentary series called ACROSS. As the crisis intensifies along the southern border, scoring political points is easier than getting to the heart of the matter. Some say the US has a moral obligation to receive all refugees; many others, including 68% of white evangelicals, insist we have no responsibility to receive any refugees at all. But what if we're looking at this crisis from the wrong point of view? By giving migrants a platform to share their powerful stories of faith, this episode compels us all to walk a mile (or 2,000) in their shoes. When we take the time to listen, their faith will change our hearts, and when all our hearts are changed, we'll change the world together.

A replay of the popular 2019 episode that inspired Maybe God's award-winning documentary series called ACROSS. Since 2014, the number of migrants crossing the border has skyrocketed, leading to the highly politicized border crisis we've seen in the news. In debates like this one, we're so quick to point out who the villains are and what the solutions are that we forget to answer the most important questions: Where is God in this crisis? What does He want us to learn from it? What does He want us to do about it?

Ep 63Why Can't I Find My Missing Piece?

Even as our culture grows more cynical toward monogamy and marriage, the majority of young Americans still hope to find "The One" and get hitched. Deep down, we still believe in life-altering, breathtaking, rapturous love. But what if the love we're searching for isn't the kind of love we really need? Today, we're revisiting one of our favorite episodes from 2019 (with a BIG update!), where a young woman shares the story of how one man's love changed her life forever in the most unexpected way. Their love story left us wondering if we've lost the plot when it comes to dating and relationships. What if the love we need isn't necessarily romantic or sexual? PLUS, a very special update from Meredith Kirk, four years after recording her original interview.

Ep 62Why I'm a Humanist, Why I'm a Christian with Bart Campolo & Eric Huffman (Round 2!)

It's Justin Brierley's debut episode as guest host of Maybe God! Justin begins by moderating a lively discussion between Secular Humanist Bart Campolo and Maybe God host and Christian pastor Eric Huffman. Bart Campolo, son of famous pastor Tony Campolo, was the very first guest on Maybe God five years ago, but the conversation didn't quite go as the Maybe God team had hoped.
