You're Not the Only One Having a Faith Crisis
I decided to address an elephant in the room: a lot of people are struggling with faith right now. In this episode I share my advice on how to deal with that, coming from my perspective as a former atheist.

I ran into Joanna Gaines' husband, Chris, and made everything super weird. If you ever hear that the Gaines family has issued a restraining order against me, this is why.
