The Christian faith provides intellectually and existentially satisfying answers to many of life’s questions. But it likewise challenges us to consider whether the things we’re most curious about are really important and liberates us to ask new and better questions. Dr. Matthew Lee Anderson is convinced that the call to follow Jesus is a call to a life of questioning (to be distinguished from doubting). He writes in his book Called into Questions: Cultivating the Love of Learning within the Life of Faith: “We can only question well when we believe there are answers—but we will only live our way into the answers if we orient our questions toward the good and the true as Jesus reveals them.” In this episode, Dr. Anderson and Dr. Keith Plummer talk about the vital role a stance of questioning should play in the individual and corporate life of discipleship.
