The Gather podcast is a ministry of Faith Troy in Michigan. We’ve always felt so much joy and encouragement when we’ve gathered together to have conversations about life and God. This is another way for us to connect with one another and encourage one another.

On the latest episode of the Gather podcast, Autumn interviews Rebecca McLaughlin the author of, Confronting Christianity: 12 Hard Questions for the World’s Largest Religion. If you’ve ever questioned your faith, this conversation is for you.

In Rebecca McLaughlin’s book she answers questions like:

Aren’t we better off without religion?

Doesn’t Christianity crush diversity?

How can you say there is only one true faith?

Doesn’t religion hinder morality?

Doesn’t religion cause violence?

How can you take the Bible literally?

Hasn’t science disproved Christianity?

Doesn’t Christianity denigrate women?

Isn’t Christianity homophobic?

Doesn’t the Bible condone slavery?

How could a loving God allow so much suffering?

How could a loving God send people to hell?

Confronting Christianity was featured on the TED summer reading list and named “Book of the Year” by Christianity Today. Channeling state-of-the-art research, personal stories, and careful biblical study, Confronting Christianity explores 12 questions that keep many from considering faith in Christ.
