Why a Christian Scientist Became a Baptist Pastor

In this conversation, I sit down with Dr. David Anderson (my uncle) to trace a winding faith journey that runs from Christian Science into evangelical Christianity—and to slow down over what gets gained, lost, and reshaped along the way. We talk about conversion stories and pastoral callings, but also about intelligence, formation, family influence, and how early frameworks quietly shape what we later call “faith.” Dave reflects on his dramatic shift in belief, the role prayer has played in his life, and how he understands God’s action without flattening mystery into slogans. Along the way, we wrestle with salvation, denominational boundaries, and the modern church’s tendency to confuse certainty with depth. It’s less a testimony episode and more an honest attempt to think carefully about how faith actually forms—and what it costs to take it seriously over time.
