What is Faith Lab?
What if Christianity could handle your toughest questions?
Most Christians have never heard the depth of evidence that exists for the faith they already hold. Faith Lab changes that. Every episode, scholars like N.T. Wright and Tim Mackie explain what they've spent their careers studying about Jesus, the Bible, and the origins of Christianity, in conversations you can actually follow.
Hosted by Nate and Shelby Hanson. Nate spent years in ministry alongside Francis Chan before a season of deconstruction led him to question everything. What brought him back wasn't blind faith. It was the scholarship.
