Why Do A Mother & Son See Evil Differently? Part 2 BSA 8

About this episode

Scott Rice engages in a deep conversation with Jasper and Vivian Su about faith, doubt, and the complexities of spiritual questioning.

In this episode of Theology Lab's Beyond Simple Answers, Scott Rice sits down with Jasper Su and his mother, Vivian Su, for an honest conversation about faith, doubt, suffering, theology, and the beauty of asking hard questions. What happens when a lifelong Christian wrestles with uncertainty? Can questioning God actually deepen faith instead of destroying it? Jasper shares his journey through doubt, intellectual struggle, and spiritual curiosity, while Vivian reflects on parenting with grace, openness, and unconditional love. Together, they explore: Christian doubt and deconstruction Faith and uncertainty Parenting adult children in faith The problem of suffering and God’s presence Why questioning can lead to deeper belief This episode might speak to folks who have ever felt like a “bad Christian” for asking difficult questions, and for parents, pastors, and faith communities trying to create safer spaces for authentic spiritual conversations. #Christianity #FaithAndDoubt #Deconstruction #theologypodcasts #BeyondSimpleAnswers #ChristianFaith
