What if your questions could become an invitation to know Jesus better? This week, Jill welcomes historian, author, and pastor Dr. Jason Tatlock for a conversation about loving God with our minds, studying Scripture with curiosity, and discerning the voices shaping our faith. From the meaning of Jesus’ sacrifice to the simple word “with,” Jason reminds us that God wants a relationship with us. Bring your questions, pull up a chair, and discover his closeness.
✝️ ABOUT THIS EPISODE
Have you ever felt like asking questions about your faith meant you weren’t trusting God enough?
In Episode 130 of Halfway to Sunday, Jill sits down with historian, author, and pastor Dr. Jason Tatlock to explore how curiosity, careful study, and a relationship with Jesus can grow together.
Jason shares his own season of struggling with faith, offers simple ways to begin studying Scripture, and explains why believers need discernment when engaging with teaching and social media. Together, he and Jill explore how historical context can deepen our understanding of Jesus’ sacrifice and why knowing about God is different from walking with him.
They also discuss Jason’s devotional, With More Than a Word, and his experiences with Christians in Pakistan.
This conversation invites you to bring your questions, make space for God, and remember that he wants to be with you as you learn to know and love him more.
