He asked questions. He pushed back. He wanted to understand why, whether it was in the classroom, at home, or eventually, at church. So when Christianity came into his orbit, he didn't just slide into it. He interrogated it.\nJoel and Brayden sit down for part 1 with Rob: engineer, husband, dad, and more, for a conversation that covers a sceptical upbringing, an intellectual path to faith, the doubts that have stayed with him, and why he keeps choosing to believe anyway.\nRob talks about growing up in a household where questions were encouraged and certainty was earned, the moment faith stopped being something inherited and started being something he had to decide about for himself. He also talks about marriage, fatherhood, an engineering career.\nThere's honesty here about the moments faith has felt hard, not just intellectually, but personally. And he keeps coming back to the same conclusion: this is true, and it's worth building a life on.","thumbnail_url":"https://img.transistorcdn.com/l5Vjo5gfWC1dn2wXH4SBIPIbKYT6VYgRDwFpkncfTAk/rs:fill:0:0:1/w:400/h:400/q:60/mb:500000/aHR0cHM6Ly9pbWct/dXBsb2FkLXByb2R1/Y3Rpb24udHJhbnNp/c3Rvci5mbS8xODQx/ZjY1ZjA3YzBmMzAy/NDM5NzdjY2MzNjkw/YWI5Zi5wbmc.webp","thumbnail_width":300,"thumbnail_height":300}
