“You just have to believe.” Ever heard that? We have too—and we’re calling it out.

In this episode of Weird Hill to Die On, Mary Jo Sharp, Phoenix Hayes, and Adam Coleman take on the myth of blind faith. We dig into what Jesus actually taught about doubt, belief, and evidence—and why faith doesn’t mean turning off your brain.

From Thomas to TikTok clichés, we unpack how modern Christian culture has sometimes reduced faith to a vibe check or a guilt trip. But historically? Faith was grounded in trust, testimony, and truth—not vibes.

Whether you're reconstructing your own faith or trying to help a friend who’s deconstructing theirs, this episode gives you permission to bring your mind to the table. Because Christianity isn’t afraid of hard questions—and we already made it weird.

Key Topics Discussed:

• Why Jesus didn’t demand blind faith from His followers
• What the story of Thomas actually teaches us
• How church clichés can misrepresent the nature of faith
• The role of evidence, experience, and tradition in belief
• Why intellectual honesty is central to spiritual maturity
• How to engage faith questions without fear or pressure
• What it looks like to rebuild trust in God after doubt
