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.

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. With Justin's help, round two is much more fruitful; both Bart and Eric explore what caused them to completely changed their worldviews about 10 years ago and what challenges them most about the other's current worldview.

Eric Huffman takes a look back at one of Maybe God's most popular and impactful episodes of all time. We all know that death is a fact of life, but is it the end of life? In part one of this 2018 series, Maybe God host Eric Huffman talks to pastor and New York Times best-selling author John Burke about his 30-year journey studying over a thousand near-death claims, people from all different countries and religions who say they've "crossed over" and met God. We'll also introduce you to Jeffrey Olsen and Howard Storm, two men who say they experienced the afterlife, in one case, hell.

Before becoming one of the most influential authors of our time with over two dozen books exploring pain, doubt, grace, and hope, Philip Yancey spent years coming to terms with his strict fundamentalist upbringing. On this episode, he explains how he overcame a crisis of faith, his thoughts on the current evangelical church, and how a very recent diagnosis with a potentially debilitating illness has put his faith to the test.

It's hard to miss the relentless stream of news reports of Christian pastors who've been caught lying, cheating on their wives, mishandling church funds, and in some cases sexually abusing women and children - and the ripple effect pastoral misconduct has had on so many people who've lost faith in the Church. What are the root causes of these pastoral failures? How should they be handled? And how can trust in the Church ever be restored? Eric Huffman talks to Julie Roys, the journalist who's been the first to report on many of the biggest church scandals, and Sonny and Shawn Hennessy, two megachurch pastors who found healing by owning up to their biggest mistakes and walking away from a thriving ministry.
