Maybe God

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?    Featured book: The Paradox of Choice: Why More Is Less by Barry Schwartz   Listen to Part Two: https://www.maybegodpod.com/are-you-seeing-anyone-part-two   Sign up for our weekly newsletter with exclusive content: www.maybegodpod.com    Donate to future episodes: www.maybegodpod.com/donate    Follow Maybe God on Instagram and Facebook: @maybegodpod

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.  More on Andrew Klavan: https://www.andrewklavan.com Watch this interview: youtube.com/maybegodpodcast Sign up for our weekly newsletter with exclusive content: www.maybegodpod.com  Donate to future episodes: www.maybegodpod.com/donate  Follow Maybe God on Instagram and Facebook: @maybegodpod

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. She has been quoted in The New Yorker and Newsweek, highlighted as one of the five top women apologists by Christianity Today, and hailed in The Economist as "America's pre-eminent evangelical Protestant female intellectual."

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?  In this episode, the Maybe God team travels to El Paso to search for God’s voice in voices the asylum-seekers and their allies.
