Does a real Christian ever ponder abandoning the faith?

Ted asks about Christians struggling with doubt about the faith and walking away from it. Rod talks about learning from the New Testament that such struggles are 'not weird', how people are not trained to know why Christianity is true, what we should expect and what 'normal' Christianity looks like, and how myth in storytelling connects us to what Christ did for us to save us, even when things look dim or dark.
