Some conversations don't end with answers.They end with better questions.
In this episode of What The Hell Do I Know with JB, I sit down with Joe Smith for one of the most thoughtful conversations we've had about faith, church, deconstruction, inclusion, politics, and what it actually means to follow Jesus.
We talk about church hurt, LGBTQ+ inclusion, spiritual trauma, fundamentalism, certainty, grace, and why so many people aren't rejecting Jesus—they're rejecting harmful versions of Christianity.
Whether you agree with everything we discuss or not, my hope is simple:
Ask better questions.
Because sometimes the deepest faith isn't found in certainty. Sometimes it's found in the courage to wrestle honestly.
This isn't a debate.
It's an honest conversation between two people trying to pursue Jesus while making room for difficult questions.
If this episode challenged you, encouraged you, or simply made you think, I'd love to hear your perspective in the comments. Whether you agree or disagree, let's model the kind of conversation we wish existed more often.

• Church hurt and spiritual trauma
• LGBTQ+ inclusion in the church
