Here’s a podcast interview I did for a new article in the Christian Research Journal. My approach is to offer a definition of doubt according to which doubt is the experience of finding plausible what we take to be a potentially defeating claim. I offer a few ways to evaluate our doubts and suggest that investigating our doubts, when done properly, will lead us to truth and knowledge and a greater faith. In this sense, doubt should be seen as valuable.
The article is in the latest issue (39, Vol. 04) of the Journal. I would highly recommend that you consider subscribing to the journal. The content is terrific. It strikes the right balance between being accessible and yet challenging. For more information see here.

Travis, I didn’t know you did this web site post page thing… you did a good job on your interview. I kinda want to send the link to two of my coworkers that struggle with this very thing. Thanks for your honesty and pursuit of thought. What a fantastic brother in law!
