God Answers in Detail with Mark Holloway

Send us Fan Mail Mark Holloway is back, and this conversation goes even deeper. The New Zealand author of The Freedom Diaries returns to the She Laughs Podcast to tackle the big questions: What have we gotten wrong about God because of religion? How do you actually hear his voice? And what do you do when you doubt? Mark breaks down how religion has shaped our picture of God in ways that don't line up with the full story of scripture, and why that matters for anyone trying to get close to him. He walks through his method of written conversation with God step by step, addresses the fear of getting it wrong, and talks about how even the strongest believers, John the Baptist included, wrestle with doubt. This is one of those conversations that will shift something in you.
