\u201cThis podcast is for anyone who is earnestly pursuing \u2014 or rebuilding \u2014 their faith,\u201d said Dave Zimmerman, publisher of NavPress. \u201cOur hope is that these conversations will help people feel less alone in their questions and more hopeful about where the questions might take them.\u201d <\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n

Good Books, Big Questions<\/em> is hosted by NavPress author Karen Stiller, former editor of Faith Today <\/em>magazine and founding host of the Faith Today<\/em> podcast. She says of the new podcast, \u201cI get to speak with authors and editors who don\u2019t hide from tough questions about faith. How does the biblical story deal with resentment, insecurity, and the other things that keep us up at night? How might Christian faith speak into experiences of racial trauma, abandonment, and grief? How can writing serve as a form of deep communion with others as we navigate the complexities of life together?<\/em> This is the kind of dialogue we want to make room for.\u201d <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Good Books, Big Questions<\/em> is available on all major podcast streaming platforms. Guests featured in season one will include Joyce Koo Dalrymple, author of several LifeChange Bible studies<\/a> and contributor to The Message<\/em>\u00ae<\/sup><\/em> Women\u2019s Devotional Bible<\/em><\/a>; Jared Ayers, author of You Can Trust a God with Scars<\/em><\/a>; Norman Hubbard, author of More Than Christians<\/em><\/a>; and other NavPress authors and staff members.
