episode Faith, Contradictions & Jesus: A Fireside Conversation Between an Agnostic & Christian - JTP #105 cover

Description

In this episode I sit down with Brandon Cowan for a fireside conversation about Jesus, faith, doubt, and the history behind the birth narratives. Brandon is a Christian and I come from a more agnostic perspective. We talk openly about what shaped our beliefs, how the New Testament stories developed, and why the nativity accounts in Matthew and Luke have become such a debated topic among historians and Christians today. This wasn’t a debate. It was an honest conversation between two people trying to understand what they believe and why they believe it. We get into Rome, the census, the Christmas story, the Egyptian prophet, losing faith, holding onto faith, and how complicated Christian origins really are. Whether you’re a believer, skeptic, or somewhere in between, I hope this episode gives you something to think about.
