Curiosity often doesn't feel neutral—it feels risky. Especially in faith spaces, asking questions can feel like the first step toward losing your footing entirely. But what if curiosity isn't the problem? What if the issue is trying to stay curious without the internal capacity to hold not knowing?
In this first episode of The Wednesday Podcast, we explore the difference between curiosity and collapse, why regulation matters more than we've been taught, and how God designed us as embodied beings—body, soul, and spirit integrated. Certainty is not the same as trust. You can wrestle with God and still be in relationship with Him.
This is a space where we hold faith, psychology, and mystery together—without urgency, without performance, and without pretending everything resolves neatly.
Topics explored:
- Why curiosity feels dangerous in Christian contexts
