Graduate school has a way of raising questions you didn’t expect to ask—and sometimes questions about faith are among them. In this episode, BYU religious educator Jared Halverson joins Rosalynde Welch (BYU Maxwell Institute), Shawn Tucker (Elon University), and Lara Buckwalter (Becoming Disciple Scholars) for an honest conversation about what happens when intellectual life unsettles familiar beliefs.
Rather than treating questions and doubts as problems to be eliminated, Jared invites us to see them as part of the process through which faith can mature. Drawing on the scriptural pattern of creation, fall, and atonement, the conversation considers how difficulty and uncertainty can be opportunities for growth.
The goal isn’t to resolve every question. It’s to learn how to live faithfully while questions remain. For students navigating the sometimes-uncomfortable intersection of scholarship and belief, this episode offers a hopeful reminder: a faith that has room for questions may ultimately become a deeper and more resilient faith.
