Faith vs Feelings: What Actually Guides You?

from In My Shell · host Ludovica Ballou

Faith is often presented as certainty—but for many people raised in it, the lived experience is far more nuanced. David Mawson, co-host of Pursuit of Truth and raised around ministry through Victory Baptist Church, reflects on what it’s like to grow up in belief while navigating the natural questions that come with it over time. We discuss: ◼️Why faith can feel different in lived experience than in structured religious settings ◼️How emotional experience and spiritual teaching can shape understanding in different ways ◼️Why mental health and spirituality sometimes overlap in ways people don’t often discuss◼️What younger people are actually searching for beneath “faith” ◼️How questions about belief can develop gradually over time ◼️What it looks like to form a personal understanding of truth over timeFollow Pursuit of Truth
