Catherine McNiel and Jason Hague – Mid-Faith Crisis

‘Mid-faith crises are a shared human experience that can feel isolating yet are a crucial part of our spiritual journey’. Brent talks with authors Catherine McNiel and Jason Hague about their new IVP book ‘Mid-Faith Crisis: Finding a Path Through Doubt, Disillusionment, and Dead Ends’. Jason is the associate pastor of Christ’s Center Church near Eugene, Oregon.  He’s written extensively on the subject of the Christian faith and autism, special needs families and his own spiritual journey toward hope for his own non-speaking autistic son.
