Having faith in God is sometimes difficult. The belief that “Everything happens for a reason” can feel disheartening and dismissive to personal traumas. In this episode, our guest, Pastor Tom Wojnarowski, and I focus on this issue. Pastor Tom has a passion for his helping people grow as individuals and as followers of Jesus.

In this interview, Pastor Tom and Tesa discuss:

• What exactly is faith?
• Navigating crises of faith
• The key to faith being reasonable faith
• The importance of building a foundation for faith
• The difficulty of having faith in God
• The first sin
• What prayer is and isn’t
• How American culture and shame affect faith
• How to navigate anger towards God
• The importance of relationships in your life as a faith-based person
• Keeping faith through traumatic events and coming back to faith after trauma
