What is Faith Lab?

Christianity is deeper than you've been shown.

Each episode, Nate Hanson and Shane Rosenthal sit down with scholars like N.T. Wright and Tim Mackie to talk through Jesus, the Bible, and the origins of Christianity in conversations you can actually follow. Nate came back from deconstruction through scholarship, and Shane hosts The Humble Skeptic podcast.
