#103. How a Pastor Views Church Hurt, Do We Have Free Will, and Is God Really Dead? — James Lee

Why does God allow suffering? Is there free will? Do you know the difference between faith and trust? Are soulmates real?

This week’s guest is James Lee. James is a Christian philosopher, a college pastor at Youngnak LA, and a lecturer at Biola University. James has a graduate degree in pastoral care and counseling and a doctorate of ministry in integrative theology and philosophy.

James Lee and Benoit discuss faith, philosophy, religion and culture, especially in modern America, where Christianity has not had the best reputation for its historical wrongdoing.

This is a special episode because Benoit always wanted to uphold his Christian faith more openly on the show, but fear of the mob attack from the inter-web has stopped him until now.

Expect to learn about why most people leave the church, the trauma of church hurt, how James views 'God Is Dead,' and other philosophical discussions.

Let's get this started.
