Go and Be Podcast #12 - Faith Crisis with Michael McLean

Have you ever experienced a faith crisis? Are you going through one now? Today you can find hope through Michael McLean’s story—a nine-year faith crisis that led him on an unforgettable and heart-wrenching journey.

Our hosts Michelle McCullough and Christie Gardiner sit with Michael as he shares the pain, the anger, the anguish, and the ultimate joy of his faith crisis. During this time he asked himself many questions, like the following:

“How do you impress Jesus?”

“Do I have an experience with God?”

“Did I become a version of a Christian I was told to become?”

“Do I know Jesus at all or do I know ideas about Him that have been taught to me?”

These questions pierced Michael’s soul as he struggled to get answers from God. He came to the realization that he was “keeping promises [his] heart no longer [felt].” But he continued to keep those promises despite the silence, until one day answers came to him in the form of songs and he felt the love of God.

At the end of the day, your faith journey is your own, but maybe Michael’s honesty about his own doubts and questions can help you know that you truly are not alone.
