Why Are We Afraid to Ask? — Introducing the Afraid Podcast

What keeps us from asking the questions that matter most to our faith? Fear of judgment, fear of looking foolish, fear of the answer itself. These are the walls that keep so many believers and seekers silent. In this introductory episode, host Steven sits down with theologian and pastor David to share the heart behind Afraid: Questions You're Afraid to Ask Your Pastor.They talk honestly about why hard questions go unasked in the church, why real conversation is so rare, and what it looks like to wrestle with tough topics while holding onto love, humility, and scripture. David also shares his own remarkable story, a radical salvation on a street corner in Huntington, West Virginia, and the years of deep, devoted study that shaped everything he believes.To give you a taste of what's ahead, they wade into one of the top questions already coming in from listeners: Once Saved, Always Saved. Spoiler: it has a lot more layers than you might think.If you've ever sat in a church pew with a question burning in your chest and said nothing, this podcast is for you.
