167: How to Understand People Who Doubt: An Interview with Sam D. Kim

Aaron Lee interviews Sam D. Kim, author of A Holy Haunting: Why Faith Isn't a Leap but a Series of Staggers from One Safe Place to Another. They discuss spiritual puberty, deconstruction, and crossing the swamp of doubt.

"But why I think deconstruction was hard for me in particular was because there’s no theology of weakness. There’s nothing taught on grief, there’s nothing taught on ambiguity. There’s nothing taught on being nuanced about life when the Bible speaks a lot about it. So I think that I was taught to think very black and white. And to process that was very difficult. And I didn’t want others to feel that and do it alone. And I hope that in some small way, my memoir, in many ways, could help them not feel alone. That’s really the goal. To know a friend along the journey that feels that way."
