I am no longer posting new episodes to the Recovering Faith blog and podcast as my mission to recover my faith has failed and I could not continue to go through the motions and I realized I couldn’t force myself to have faith.
The Recovering Faith Podcast is an honest and nonjudgmental discussion on faith in God, why it is often difficult to trust God and what we can do about it. Many of the topics discussed center on rebuilding faith after a tragedy or when coming to Christianity from a non-Christian or pseudo-Christian world view.
Hosted by Gene Curl. New content every Wednesday.

Read MoreBecause this is a broken and fallen world, there are a lot of wicked people, and because some of them prosper greatly in regards to wealth, fame or power it is assumed that they are being blessed by God, but God is never pleased by wickedness and He never blesses anyone for being wicked because in order to be wicked a person must disobey God.

Read MoreWhat must I do to be saved? That is a question that is often asked, and there are a lot of answers out there that are not in line with the Bible. This episode is a discussion on what the Bible says we need to do to be saved.
Read MoreChristians have a reputation of being judgemental people, and the sad truth is that the way many of us are living and the way we are treating others is one major reason why the reputation persists. Christians are, all to often, judgemental and one of today’s popular Christians to judge is the singer Lauren Daigle.
Read MoreJoseph Smith, the founder of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints is revered and respected by the faithful LDS as the greatest prophet to have ever lived and he is viewed in an almost godlike status and is given more respect and adoration than any human should be given and more than any human could ever earn.

Because plural marriage was not legal in America the practice led to all sorts of problems with the Church and eventually led to the death of the Church’s first prophet.
Read MoreI am not sure why, but as Christians we often feel that we have to pretend that everything is absolutely perfect with our lives and will not admit when we need help, but church is not a place for perfect people but rather a place for hurting and broken people to heal.
Read MoreThis episode is a about some of my experiences when I was in a singles ward and a little about the movie The Singles Ward. The basic idea behind a singles ward is to get young LDS people married off as quickly as possible and to keep them out of trouble until they do get married.
