Melissa Dougherty Exposes the DARK Side of Modern Christianity! Jan 09, 2025

Manifestation, the Law of Attraction, and the idea that we are all gods and goddesses - these are just a few examples of New Thought - a movement Christian apologist and YouTuber Melissa Dougherty says is taking over our churches without Christians even realizing it. Melissa used to be all-in with New Age and New Thought, but in recent years she has made it her life’s mission to help believers identify and deconstruct what she calls fake Christianity.

The Shocking Truth About Life's Origins with Dr. James Tour Dec 26, 2024

The origin of life on Earth stands as one of the great mysteries of science. Various answers have been proposed, but chemist and nanotechnologist Dr. James Tour believes the science behind these theories is largely false, and he continues to challenge top researchers to provide real evidence. Named one of the world's most influential scientific minds, Dr. James Tour often finds himself in the spotlight for his heated debates against secular scientists. In this interview, he explains why this topic is so important to him, how origin-of-life science has fallen short, and how a Jewish boy from New York fell in love with Jesus decades ago.

"Liberal" Versus "Conservative" Christianity | Brandan Robertson and Eric Huffman Dec 11, 2024

How does someone go from being the kid who wears a large wooden cross around his neck, telling his unbelieving friends they’re going to hell – to becoming one of the most outspoken, progressive, pro-LGBTQ pastors in the U.S.? In this interview, “TikTok pastor”‪ Brandan Robertson challenges traditional interpretations of the Bible, the divinity of Jesus, and conservative Christianity’s teachings on marriage and sexuality, and Maybe God Host Eric Huffman responds. Brandan argues that there's no contradiction between being Christian and being queer. His new book, "Queer & Christian" is set to release in May of 2025.

Is Sex Trafficking The Work of the Devil? Nov 25, 2024

Human trafficking is the world’s fastest growing crime, with an estimated 27.6 million victims worldwide at any given time. The majority of those victims are women and girls. Of those who fall victim to trafficking, only one percent are rescued. What if we looked at this problem not merely as an issue of flesh and blood, but as a spiritual battle against evil itself? That’s what one Houston man, Colonel Kevin Lilly, did. Leveraging his authority and connections as the Chairman of the Texas Alcoholic Beverage Commission, he helped coordinate and carry out the most significant sex trafficking sting in Texas history. This is the first time he’s sharing the behind-the-scenes details about the cartels, the victims, and how this operation provides hope for combating sex trafficking.

Preston Perry's UNLIKELY Journey to Evangelism Oct 17, 2024

In this raw and honest interview with Maybe God guest host Justin Brierley‬, Preston Perry tells the story of how God chased him on the streets of Chicago, and how he’s since discovered not only the importance of the truth, but how to tell the truth in a way that speaks to someone’s heart. The apologist, spoken word poet, and co-host of "With The Perrys" talks about growing up in gangs, finding Christ, and how God convicted him about his old approach to evangelism. We also hear about Preston's life with his wife, Jackie Hill Perry, and why wrote his new book “How to Tell the Truth: The Story of How God Saved Me to Win Hearts—Not Just Arguments”.

What Did Purity Culture Get Wrong...AND Right? Oct 03, 2024

The generation born into evangelical purity culture has grown up, and many have started families of their own. But as time goes on, it's becoming more evident that many still struggle with purity culture's complicated legacy―its idolization of virginity, its mixed messages about modesty and lust, and its promise of a healthy marriage and great sex for those who follow the rules.

In this interview, Eric chats with celebrated author Rachel Joy Welcher about purity culture's effects on her own journey with sex and marriage. Rachel also carefully examines purity culture’s teachings through the lens of Scripture and offers practical advice for the Christians attempting to navigate heated debates about LGBT+ relationships, premarital sex, and more.

Can We Still Be Friends? | Sean McDowell Sep 05, 2024

In a world riddled with political idolatry and endless rage bait, division and strife have become the norm. Even Christians have fallen prey to this polarization, causing us to abandon the biblical call to unity in favor of our favorite political commentators. Though it seems as if meaningful and respectful disagreement is a relic of the past, apologist Sean McDowell insists that these conversations are not only possible — they're ESSENTIAL. For years now, Sean has been critically engaging the world on his own wildly popular YouTube channel. In this interview, Eric and Sean discuss the traumatic upbringing of Sean's well-known father, Josh McDowell, the questions that led to Sean's teenage deconstruction, the upcoming election, and Sean's new book, "End the Stalemate: Move Past Cancel Culture to Meaningful Conversations."

Does the Bible Affirm Same-Sex Relationships? | Rebecca McLaughlin Aug 22, 2024

Jesus never talked about same-sex relationships. The Apostle Paul only condemned abusive same-sex sexual relationships, not consensual ones. These are two of the most popular arguments that some Christians make in favor of same-sex relationships. They are compelling claims — but are they true? In her latest book, scholar Rebecca McLaughlin analyzes the top 10 claims about scripture and sexuality and sheds light on what the Bible really says. Rebecca also speaks candidly with Maybe God host Eric Huffman about her lifelong experience with same-sex attraction.

Does CRT Belong in Church? (Part Two) Aug 08, 2024

In part two of our series on critical race theory, Eric Huffman chats with author and scholar Ed Uszynski about white evangelicals' hesitancy to address racism, and how their silence inadvertently drives onlookers away from the church and toward the "woke" left. On an incredibly personal note, Ed divulges the racist beliefs espoused in his childhood home, the process of examining his own racial biases, and why his journey to championing true, biblical justice is one we should all take. Eric also reveals his family’s own history with racism and offers a strong call to Christians everywhere.

This must listen to episode also features Justin Giboney, cofounder of the AND Campaign, attorney and political strategist.

Does CRT Belong in Church? (Part One) Jul 25, 2024

Critical race theory has taken center stage in our culture’s conversation about racism. For many, it’s also become a proverbial line in the sand. If you question anything about CRT, you risk being called a racist. Suggest anything remotely positive about it, on the other hand, and they’ll say you’re a woke Marxist. In this two-part series, we’ll hear from two leading experts who will help us understand CRT’s origins, its recent entry into mainstream culture, and how it complements or contradicts the Christian worldview. Part one features Neil Shenvi, author of a 2023 book called Critical Dilemma: The Rise of Critical Theories and Social Justice Ideology—Implications for the Church and Society.

Can You Believe in Science and God? (Justin Brierley with Biochemist Sy Garte) Jul 03, 2024

Raised in a Marxist, militant atheist family, Sy Garte fell in love with the factual world of science. He became a distinguished research biochemist with an anti-theistic worldview to bolster his work--and he had no intention of seeking a God he didn't believe in. That is, until the very science he loved led him to question the validity of an atheistic worldview. His journey to answer the questions that confronted him drew him into becoming a fully committed Christian, determined to show others the truth: modern science doesn't contradict God at all but instead supports Christianity.

Should We Trans Children? May 09, 2024

Soon after 12-year-old Chloe Cole discovered transgender ideology on social media, she began telling her friends and family that she was a boy. At age 13, she began taking testosterone and puberty blockers; two years later, she underwent a double mastectomy. Almost immediately after the mastectomy, regret set in and Chloe became one of many remorseful transitioners unable to reverse the damage done to their bodies. Now, despite the vitriol and hate she faces from the transgender community, Chloe is committed to warning kids and their parents about the dangers of gender-affirming care in minors. In this episode, Chloe explains how she became involved in the transgender movement, why she ultimately decided to walk away, and how this experience led her to believe in a higher power.

Best-selling author and near-death experiences aficionado John Burke returns to Maybe God for a second deep dive into reported glimpses into the afterlife. In his latest book “Imagine The God of Heaven”, John details the shocking evidence that supports NDEs and discusses how people from various religious traditions all seem to encounter the same, biblical God. Also, the stories of a surgeon and a commercial airline pilot, both indifferent to the existence of God, until they were pronounced clinically dead and found themselves at the gates of heaven – and hell. What do their experiences reveal about the character of God?

Who Would Jesus Execute? (Part One) Feb 01, 2024

Those who argue in favor of the death penalty often emphasize capital punishment as a means of justice for victims and their families. But what if those impacted by the crimes in question desire a different kind of justice? Rev. Sharon Risher, daughter of one of the nine churchgoers slain in the 2015 hate crime at Emanuel AME Church, is one of those people. In part one of this series, we hear Sharon’s reasons for forgiving her mother’s killer, even though he’s shown no remorse for his heinous crime. We also hear from Christian anti-death penalty activist Shane Claiborne, who offers a theological exploration of redemption.

Can Survivors Change the World? Jan 18, 2024

Annie Alaniz’s world was confined to a poor, rural village in Malawi with limited healthcare and education, until a medical missionary from Texas recognized her potential to reshape the future of her entire community.

Randy Travis overcame all odds to become a country music legend, but few people know the whole story. After surviving an abusive childhood and struggling to stay sober and out of trouble as a young man, Randy's determined work ethic and signature baritone voice propelled his meteoric rise to superstardom.

In this 2020 episode, we ask Randy and Mary Travis how it's possible to keep trusting God when your life feels like a country music song.

Learning to Surrender with Eliza and Ted Edwards Dec 28, 2023

Eliza and Ted were living a comfortable, country club lifestyle in the U.S. when they felt God calling them to uproot their lives and move their young family to the war-torn Middle East. What started as an 18 month experiment became a 20 plus year journey raising their Christian family in an unpredictable region and learning how to share the Gospel in Muslim-majority communities. In this episode, Eliza and Ted share how faithful God has been as they’ve chosen to surrender. They also offer a unique perspective on the fighting in Gaza, just 40 miles from their current home.

From New Age to Orthodox Christianity with Vesper Stamper Dec 14, 2023

Having suffered childhood sexual abuse at the hands of a family member, 13-year-old Vesper Stamper was hungry for a sense of control. An answer was seemingly found in wicca, transcendental meditation, and other occult practices; but after her first experience of astral projection, Vesper became plagued by a dark spiritual oppression that only conversion and exorcism could lift. Decades later, the celebrated author and illustrator reflects upon the suffering that led to her experimentation, as well as the pain that has persisted years into her Christian walk. For the very first time, Vesper publicly discusses her recent health diagnosis, the despair she’s battled in the wake of the October 7th attacks, and the surprising companion she’s found in Christ.

Replay: What If He Didn’t Do It? Dec 07, 2023

Three years ago, Maybe God shared one of the most chilling and troubling cases of wrongful accusation you’ll ever hear. It’s the heartbreaking, gut-wrenching story of two young people in love who fought for justice against all odds, and found God along the way. Greg and Gaebri Kelley’s story offers us something we all desperately need right now: hope. Hope that injustice and evil won’t have the last word. Hope that the truth still sets us free and that love still casts out fear.

Cultivating Christlike Masculinity with CJ Kirk Nov 30, 2023

CJ Kirk has been doing martial arts for 30 years and is a 4th-degree black belt in Krav Maga. But it’s not his physical prowess that makes CJ such a great man – it’s his heart. If you’re a long-time Maybe God listener, you’ve been hearing about CJ since 2019 when we first featured the powerful story of Meredith Kirk, the young woman he adopted when she was in her early 20s. Today, we’re hearing what compelled him to pursue a father-daughter relationship with a grown woman who insisted that she wasn’t looking for a father and how that same persistence drives his mentorship of men on the hunt for purpose and hope.

The Biblical Case Against the Death Penalty with Shane Claiborne Nov 09, 2023

According to anti-death penalty activist and author Shane Claiborne, American Christians have long been beholden to a hyper-punitive model of justice that favors the wealthy, white, and well-connected. But as he details in this episode, many within the church are awakening to a radically new vision of justice that opposes the death penalty not in spite of the Christian faith, but because of it. Central to this vision is the crucifixion of Christ – a bloody sacrifice that many consider to be the execution to end all executions.

Overcoming Fear Through Prayer with Eric Huffman Nov 02, 2023

How should Christians respond when the world opposes and even mocks our Christian convictions? How can we overcome the pressure to keep quiet about Christ and the Bible? In this episode, Maybe God host Eric Huffman explains why modern, secular remedies for our pain fail in comparison to the biblically prescribed remedies of community and prayer. According to him, the key to managing our suffering is God – and when we invite God in, He is quick to reshape our perspective, helping us tell a better, more hopeful story about our pain.

Is New Atheism Dead? Oct 19, 2023

Justin Brierley spent 17 years moderating debates between the brightest secular and Christian minds as the host of “Unbelievable” on Premier Christian Radio. In recent years, Justin has witnessed conversations about the Christian worldview shift as leading atheists and secular thinkers have begun to realize the value of the religion they fought so hard to dismantle. Justin is convinced that despite the data on declining church attendance, a great wave of faith is coming ashore in the West.

Discerning Prophetic Promises with Mia Fieldes Sep 28, 2023

After years of battling disappointment in dating, Grammy-nominated songwriter Mia Fieldes began to expect mediocrity. But in her mid-30s, she felt God call her into a new mindset of radical hope. To her surprise, God rooted this hope in the promise of a soon-to-be-revealed, “custom-made” husband. Not only did God fulfill this promise, but He has since made other promises – all of which have seemed impossible and all of which have nevertheless come to pass.

Replay: Can Sex Bring Us Closer to God? Sep 14, 2023

In 2018, the Maybe God team flew to L.A. to speak with Debra Hirsch, author of "Redeeming Sex: Naked Conversations about Sexuality and Spirituality". Deb tells the unbelievable story of finding her way to Jesus through her imprisoned drug dealer in Australia and addresses the overwhelming need in our society (and churches) to have deeper conversations about sex. She laments the way most cultural conversations about sex are reduced to mere intercourse, and she challenges all people (married, single, LGBTQ+, straight, Christian and non-religious) to think more broadly about the breathtaking, rapturous gift of human sexuality.

Replay: Are You Seeing Anyone? (Part One) Aug 31, 2023

A replay of a popular 2019 episode where Gossip Girl actress Zuzanna Szadkowski and world-famous psychologist Barry Schwartz helped us understand what’s wrong with the modern dating world.

Most of us grew up being told that one day we’ll find The One, get married, have babies, and grow old together. It’s a formula that seems to have served past generations well, so as we came of age, the search was on. And we liked our chances because, thanks to dating apps like Tinder, we have more options at our fingertips than any generation before us. Still, fewer young adults than ever are walking the aisle, and for the first time in America’s history, single adults outnumber married ones. In this episode, we explore the wild world of online dating, which empowers singles to accept or reject hundreds of potential mates an hour without ever really seeing them, and we ask the question: with all these choices, why aren’t more people finding The One?

How a Secular Jew Found Faith in Christ with Andrew Klavan Aug 03, 2023

No one was more surprised than bestselling crime novelist and Edgar Award-winner Andrew Klavan when, at the age of fifty, he found himself about to be baptized. Born into a secular Jewish family outside of New York City, he grew into an alienated young writer whose disconnection and rage devolved into depression and suicidal breakdown. Searching for truth in the aftermath, he started to pray, almost experimentally, and the result was a relationship with the Messiah he’d been taught most of his life to reject.

Unmasking Secular Views of Abortion, Transgenderism, and Hookup Culture with Prof. Nancy Pearcey Jul 27, 2023

Professor Nancy Pearcey, bestselling author of Love Thy Body, reveals why she believes the secular view of human life and flourishing is contrary to nature itself and doesn’t deliver on its promise to value life or promote well-being. In this episode, she tackles issues like abortion, euthanasia, transgenderism, homosexuality, hookup culture and pornography. Plus, why Prof. Pearcey believes her latest book on masculinity has become her most controversial to date.

Nancy Pearcey is the author of The Toxic War on Masculinity: How Christianity Reconciles the Sexes, as well as Love Thy Body, The Soul of Science, Saving Leonardo, Finding Truth, and Total Truth. She is professor and scholar in residence at Houston Christian University. She has been quoted in The New Yorker and Newsweek, highlighted as one of the five top women apologists by Christianity Today, and hailed in The Economist as "America's pre-eminent evangelical Protestant female intellectual."

Replay: Can Loving “Illegals” Save Our Souls? (Part Two) Jul 19, 2023

A replay of the popular 2019 episode that inspired Maybe God's award-winning documentary series called ACROSS.

As the crisis intensifies along the southern border, scoring political points is easier than getting to the heart of the matter. Some say the US has a moral obligation to receive all refugees; many others, including 68% of white evangelicals, insist we have no responsibility to receive any refugees at all. But what if we're looking at this crisis from the wrong point of view? By giving migrants a platform to share their powerful stories of faith, this episode compels us all to walk a mile (or 2,000) in their shoes. When we take the time to listen, their faith will change our hearts, and when all our hearts are changed, we'll change the world together.

Why Can’t I Find My Missing Piece? May 24, 2023

Even as our culture grows more cynical toward monogamy and marriage, the majority of young Americans still hope to find "The One" and get hitched. Deep down, we still believe in life-altering, breathtaking, rapturous love. But what if the love we're searching for isn't the kind of love we really need? Today, we’re revisiting one of our favorite episodes from 2019 (with a BIG update!), where a young woman shares the story of how one man's love changed her life forever in the most unexpected way. Their love story left us wondering if we've lost the plot when it comes to dating and relationships. What if the love we need isn't necessarily romantic or sexual? PLUS, a very special update from Meredith Kirk, four years after recording her original interview.

Why I'm a Humanist, Why I'm a Christian with Bart Campolo & Eric Huffman (Round 2!) May 17, 2023

It’s Justin Brierley’s debut episode as guest host of Maybe God! Justin begins by moderating a lively discussion between Secular Humanist Bart Campolo and Maybe God host and Christian pastor Eric Huffman. Bart Campolo, son of famous pastor Tony Campolo, was the very first guest on Maybe God five years ago, but the conversation didn’t quite go as the Maybe God team had hoped. With Justin’s help, round two is much more fruitful; both Bart and Eric explore what caused them to completely changed their worldviews about 10 years ago and what challenges them most about the other’s current worldview.

What is hell, and why would a loving God send people there forever?

Why Do Pastors Screw Up? Apr 12, 2023

It’s hard to miss the relentless stream of news reports of Christian pastors who’ve been caught lying, cheating on their wives, mishandling church funds, and in some cases sexually abusing women and children - and the ripple effect pastoral misconduct has had on so many people who’ve lost faith in the Church. What are the root causes of these pastoral failures? How should they be handled? And how can trust in the Church ever be restored?

Eric Huffman talks to Julie Roys, the journalist who’s been the first to report on many of the biggest church scandals, and Sonny and Shawn Hennessy, two megachurch pastors who found healing by owning up to their biggest mistakes and walking away from a thriving ministry.

A World in Conflict with Lara Logan Jan 18, 2023

Lara Logan is a lightning rod of controversy. By speaking out against vaccine mandates and sounding alarm bells about what she calls a globalist cult of elites, she’s gotten herself in hot water on a regular basis. Still, she refuses to keep quiet, and she insists on telling the truth as she sees it. In Eric Huffman’s conversation with the Emmy award-winning foreign correspondent, she opens up about her South African upbringing under the leadership of Nelson Mandela, her reporting from Afghanistan and Iraq following 9/11, her miraculous rescue from a horrific attack in Egypt, and why she continues to speak out despite the mainstream media turning its back on her. In the end, Eric challenges her about the one thing he thinks she’s missing.

God and Sexuality with Adira Polite Dec 14, 2022

After years of following one of our favorite Instagram accounts that shares incredible stories of God moving in people’s lives, we reached out to get to know the heart and mind of the person who created it. That’s when we met Adira Polite, a young African American seminary student. As gifted as she is at sharing other people’s stories on Then God Moved, Adira has for years been remarkably silent when it comes to her own. The more we got to know her, the more convinced we became that it was time for this great storyteller to share all the incredible ways God has and continues to move in her life. Her story is one of God freeing her from sexual desires that conflict with who she believes God created her to be, and while this is one way that God moves in people’s lives, Adira wants those who are struggling with their sexuality to know that God can move in our lives in a million different ways.

Sleep Paralysis Demons Explained with Vicki Joy Anderson Dec 07, 2022

You wake up in the middle of the night and there it is: a menacing presence at the foot of your bed. Terrified, you try to scream and move — but you can’t. It feels like you’re paralyzed or being held down by the evil presence. Online statistics estimate anywhere from 8-30% of the population has reported experiencing sleep paralysis at least once in their lifetime. The scientific and medical communities will tell you you're hallucinating. But if you’re a chronic sufferer, it’s very real and starts to invade your waking hours. So what is it, really? Why are these entities showing up in our bedrooms at night? And how can we stop it? On today’s Maybe God conversation, author Vicki Joy Anderson talks about her decades-long battle with sleep paralysis and why she believes it’s all part of the larger battle against evil forces from another dimension.

Are Angels and Demons Real? (Part Two) Nov 30, 2022

As strange as it may sound, the Bible repeatedly makes the case that there really is another realm in which spiritual forces of Light and Darkness wage war against each other. So if we’re going to believe what we heard in part one of this episode about angels, we should also have the courage to explore the dark side of the spiritual world - Satan and his dark angels. In part two, Father Vincent Lampert, exorcist for the Archdiocese of Indianapolis of the Roman Catholic Church, reveals how evil seeks to work in all of our lives, and how to stop it. Also, testimonies from four people who say they’ve experienced demonic influence ranging from sleep paralysis to demonic possession.

Why Does God Allow Suffering? Oct 11, 2022

Arguably the most asked and most difficult question to answer related to faith is this one: “If God is loving and all powerful, why does He allow pain and suffering in our lives?” Asked by skeptics and believers alike, this age-old question becomes even harder to answer when it relates to young, innocent children, barely old enough to understand the pain they’re enduring. Host Eric Huffman and Christian apologist and author John Hopper search for answers by sharing the stories of two mothers and their sons who experienced suffering in ways most of us pray we never have to.

Will You Accept This Rose? Aug 24, 2021

Are you tired of people knowing who you are, but no one really knowing you? That is the question our guest, Ben Higgins, posed in his new book, Alone in Plain Sight: Searching for Connection When You're Seen but Not Known. After being thrust into the international spotlight on ABC's The Bachelorette (Season 11) and The Bachelor (Season 20), Ben was forced to deal with his demons behind the scenes. Our other guest, Cam Ayala, was also a contestant on The Bachelorette (Season 15) and Bachelor in Paradise (Season 6), both of which resulted in him being branded as the bad guy. Since then, Cam has been forced to cope with waves of online bullying and harassment, but that struggle is nothing compared to a life-or-death battle he has fought most of his life. Through all of their pain and soul-searching, both Ben and Cam have come to understand the importance of being truly known - by the people around them, and by God. *** Have questions, comments, or story ideas for Maybe God?

Does Every Orphan Need Adopting? Mar 28, 2021

There are 153 million orphans in the world today. Most of us would agree that making more adoptions possible is the most obvious solution to the problem, but what if it's not that simple?

Jessica and Adam Davis set out to change a little girl's life, but a shocking revelation disrupted their journey and challenged everything they thought they knew about orphans.

The stories in this episode challenge our own preconceptions about one of humanity's most pressing concerns: protecting the world's most vulnerable children, and doing justice on their behalf. Also featured: Mike Gallagher from 1MillionHome, and Brian Mavis & Tracee Rudd from America's Kids Belong.

Why Trust God When Life Feels Like a Country Song? (feat. Randy Travis) Nov 05, 2020

Randy Travis overcame all odds to become a country music legend, but few people know the whole story. After surviving an abusive childhood and struggling to stay sober and out of trouble as a young man, Randy's determined work ethic and signature baritone voice propelled his meteoric rise to superstardom. In the years that followed, however, his life slowly fell apart, and in 2013, he suffered a stroke that took away his ability to speak, sing, and walk. On this episode, we ask Randy and Mary Travis how it's possible to keep trusting God when your life feels like a country music song.

Is God Colorblind? Aug 21, 2020

In the wake of the killings of George Floyd, Breonna Taylor, Ahmaud Arbery, and others, the flames of rage engulfed our national conscience. Some of the anger was righteous indignation fueled by a genuine longing for justice; some of it was violent, opportunistic, and even deadly. Where do we go from here? Are we ready to deal with systemic racism? Should we "dismantle whiteness"? For those of us trying to follow Jesus, what is the Christian response to racism? We tackle all these questions and more with the help of Dr. Esau McCaulley, author of the new book "Reading While Black," as well as a Texas couple with a truly unique perspective on recent events in our country.

Should We Stop in the Name of Love? Jun 11, 2020

Has a global pandemic been a welcomed break from the busyness of everyday life? Over the years, we've warned people about the intoxicating nature of money, sex, pride, anxiety, and shame, but we've failed to alert people to the most popular gateway drug of our time: busyness. Pastor and author of "The Ruthless Elimination of Hurry" John Mark Comer warns that constant distraction and hurry are the greatest threats to our spiritual and emotional health. According to John Mark, hurry is incompatible with love, and if God is love, hurry prevents God from truly transforming our souls. Eric and John Mark suggest that this COVID-19 moment could be our best chance to declare independence from the soul-sucking busyness we sold-out to years ago, and they offer simple, practical ways to reject chronic busyness and to embrace real life and real love.

Can Loving “Illegals” Save Our Souls? (Part Two) Jul 22, 2019

As the crisis intensifies along the southern border, scoring political points is easier than getting to the heart of the matter. Some say the US has a moral obligation to receive all refugees; many others, including 68% of white evangelicals, insist we have no responsibility to receive any refugees at all. But what if we're looking at this crisis from the wrong point of view? By giving migrants a platform to share their powerful stories of faith, this episode compels us all to walk a mile (or 2,000) in their shoes. When we take the time to listen, their faith will change our hearts, and when all our hearts are changed, we'll change the world together.

Can Loving “Illegals” Save Our Souls? (Part One) Jul 11, 2019

Since 2014, the number of migrants crossing the border has skyrocketed, leading to the highly politicized border crisis we've seen in the news. In debates like this one, we’re so quick to point out who the villains are and what the solutions are that we forget to answer the most important questions: Where is God in this crisis? What does He want us to learn from it? What does He want us to do about it? On this episode, the Maybe God team travels to El Paso to search for God’s voice in voices the asylum-seekers and their allies.

Bonus: Why Does God Make Us Wait? Jul 09, 2019

Maybe God host and Story Houston pastor Eric Huffman tackles some of the biggest questions and doubts we have about prayer: Why do so many of our prayers appear to go unanswered? And why does it so often take so long for Him to act?

Are You Seeing Anyone? (Part Two) May 20, 2019

Even as our culture grows more cynical toward monogamy and marriage, the overwhelming majority of young Americans still hope to find The One and get hitched. Deep down, we still believe in life-altering, breathtaking, rapturous love. But what if the love we're searching for isn't the kind of love we really need? On this episode, a young woman shares the story of how one man's love changed her life forever in the most unexpected way. Their love story left us wondering if we've lost the plot when it comes to dating and relationships. What if the love we need isn't necessarily romantic or sexual? Maybe there is something better than mere marriage for singles in search of love.

Are You Seeing Anyone? (Part One) May 13, 2019

Most of us grew up being told that one day we’ll find The One, get married, have babies, and grow old together. It’s a formula that seems to have served past generations well, so as we came of age, the search was on. And we liked our chances because, thanks to dating apps like Tinder, we have more options at our fingertips than any generation before us. Still, fewer young adults than ever are walking the aisle, and for the first time in America’s history, single adults outnumber married ones. On this episode, we explore the wild world of online dating, which empowers singles to accept or reject hundreds of potential mates an hour without ever really seeing them, and we ask the question: with all these choices, why aren’t more people finding The One? Featured guests include Gossip Girl actress Zuzanna Szadkowski and world-famous psychologist Barry Schwartz.

Should We Get Naked Together? Apr 12, 2019

What’s the first thing you do when you see a flaw in the mirror? You look for a way to conceal it. Hide it. Cover it up. Either with cosmetics or wardrobe tricks, the idea is to mask the imperfection. What if the same principle applies to our minds? On this episode, renowned psychiatrist and author of The Soul of Shame Dr. Curt Thompson explains what’s happening in our brains when we spend our entire lives concealing who we really are, and how we can unroot the shame that’s holding us back from leading healthy lives. Eric and Julie also admit their own battles with shame, past and present.

Do Queer People Belong in the Church? (Part Two) Feb 22, 2019

**This episode contains content that may not be suitable for young audiences.** As the United Methodist Church stands at an impasse in the decades-old debate over the marriage and ordination of LGBTQ people, a split appears unavoidable. Conservatives accuse liberals of disrespecting the Bible; liberals suggest conservatives are on par with slave-owners and misogynists. At times like this, maybe we don't need better arguments or stronger doctrine; maybe we need more stories. On this episode, former anti-Christian gay activist David Bennett, author of A War of Loves: The Unexpected Story of a Gay Activist Following Jesus, shares the shocking story of his conversion to Christianity. Maybe God host Eric Huffman reveals, for the first time, his views on homosexuality and the Bible. Also, the remarkable story of a member of The Story Houston that producers didn't see coming.

Do Queer People Belong in the Church? (Part One) Feb 14, 2019

LGBTQ rights have taken center stage in the struggle over the future of America's second-largest Protestant denomination. Heading into this month's Special Session of the General Conference to vote on the marriage and ordination of queer people, conservative and liberal United Methodists have reached a stalemate. Can unity prevail, or is it time, after 40 years of debate, to split up? On this episode, Maybe God host and pastor Eric Huffman sits down with some of the key players on all sides of the debate, including the church's first openly-gay, married bishop, Karen Oliveto, the founder of the largest United Methodist church in the world, Rev. Adam Hamilton, and a leader of the conservative side, Rev. Rob Renfroe.

The message he delivers to a room full of Houstonians during the busy holiday season applies to every one of us, any time of year.

Can a Skeptic Be Devoted? Dec 03, 2018

When it comes to God, the Bible, and the supernatural, we've all got more questions than answers. So why do Christians ask so few questions, and why do many skeptics feel judged for having doubts? This line of thinking is what inspired Maybe God host and pastor Eric Huffman to write his first book, "40 Days of Doubt: Devotions for the Skeptic," which will be released tomorrow, December 4. For this special episode, Eric invited his friend and The Story Houston member Sarah Bolton into the studio to discuss how "40 Days of Doubt" came to be, and how his favorite Maybe God episodes helped him dig deeper into the issues he addresses in the book.

Maybe God LIVE: The "E" Word Nov 20, 2018

Evolution is real and creation is a myth, or so we've been told. But how can we be sure? Most of us haven't examined the evidence; we trust the experts to bring the truth down from the mountaintop of scientific knowledge. In this Maybe God Live episode, Dr. James Tour, a world-renowned organic chemist, shares the reasons why he puts his professional reputation on the line by rejecting Darwinian theory as the explanation for life as we know it.

Minisode: Forgiving an Enemy Oct 15, 2018

On this Maybe God mini-sode, Eric and Deana sit down for a raw and intimate one-on-one conversation about forgiving someone who doesn't deserve it.

How do we Rebuild After Life's Storms? (Harvey Anniversary Part 2) Sep 25, 2018

What do you do when life knocks you flat on your back and - whether it’s because of your bad luck or your bad choices or both - you start to wonder if you’ll ever get on your feet again? We intended for this to be part two of our Hurricane Harvey anniversary episode; we wanted to focus on people who found a way to stand tall again after that storm knocked them down. But as people shared their Harvey stories with us, they inevitably told us other stories about other times in their lives that they were flat on their backs, powerless, with no hope. On this episode, we feature Astros President Reid Ryan, Harris County Judge Ed Emmett, a few of Houston's homeless, and a young woman whose life was nearly derailed by drug addiction.

Why Did God Flood My City? (Harvey Anniversary Part 1) Sep 04, 2018

Exactly one year ago, Houston, Texas experienced a flood of Biblical proportions. As much as 60 inches of rain fell in some areas - 19 trillion gallons of water that caused over $100 Billion in property damages and sent 40,000 people to emergency shelters. 13,000 Houstonians had to be rescued by boats and helicopters. As the waters of Hurricane Harvey receded, we wondered how this could happen. If God is real, and He cares for us, where was He when our city was drowning? On this episode, we'll explore this question with some heroes who came to our rescue (the LA Cajun Navy), and some now world-famous survivors (both humans and farm animals).

On the last two episodes of Maybe God, we were introduced to a supernatural, spiritual world, through the eyes of three people who had near-death experiences. But some people don’t have to die and come back to life to experience the other side.

From his experience, he's determined one key truth we're all missing when we focus on the material world.

Are Near-Death Experiences for Real? (Part Two) Aug 09, 2018

What is hell, and why would a loving God send people there forever?

Is doubt the end of faith in God? In part one, Maybe God followed host Eric Huffman's journey from the certainty of Bible Belt religion to the moment in college when he began to reject his Christian beliefs. More than a decade later, he found himself pastoring a church in Kansas City, and questioning everything about God and his faith.

For our third episode, the Maybe God team flew to Los Angeles to speak with author, speaker, and pastor Deb Hirsch. In her latest book, Redeeming Sex: Naked Conversations about Sexuality and Spirituality, Deb addresses the overwhelming need in our society (and in our churches) to have deeper conversations about sex.

Can an Artist Really Be an Atheist? Jan 17, 2018

For our second episode, host Eric Huffman sat down with world-renowned street artist Mr. D (aka Sebastien Boileau). Ever since his loving grandmother warned him, as a child, never to be alone with certain priests (who were suspected of questionable behavior), Sebastien has always struggled with the concepts of religion and God. As an artist, however, he's constantly drawn to pursue transcendence and beauty. This tension between spirituality and cynicism is what makes his art so powerful, and it led Eric to wonder, "Can an artist like Sebastien really be an atheist?"
